Biodiversity, Biocomplexity, and the Economics of Genetic Dissimilarity
批评了用遗传差异指导物种保护优先级的做法，指出数据有限、无法考虑物种相互依赖，且遗传差异与物种价值间缺乏可靠关系。
<i>Some economists have advocated the use of measures of genetic dissimilarity to guide species preservation priorities. It is argued here that such policies are: 1) possible for only a very small number of species for which data are available; 2)impractical as a general guide to biodiversity preservation for that reason and because it is impossible, given the present state of knowledge, to account for species interdependence; and critically, 3) misguided because, at least over the relatively small species sets for which data exist, there are generally no established or theoretically convincing relationships between genetic dissimilarity and species value.</i>
