Work flow of the systematic review.
‘Analysis 1’ refers to the data used in the terminological analysis and ‘Analysis 2’ to the definition analysis.
Figure 2.
Number of publications mentioning a term for the measure.
Number of publications per year (1994–2012) in which a term was mentioned for the measure entailing intentional human-mediated dispersal of organisms. The total number of publications mentioning a term was 868.
Figure 3.
Number of times the three most common terms were used.
Number of times the three most common terms denoting a conservation measure entailing intentional human-mediated dispersal of organisms in response to climate change were used as compared to other terms. AM = assisted migration; AC = assisted colonization; MR = managed relocation; Other = all other terms found in the literature search (N = 39; see Table 1).
Figure 4.
Main categories and groups formed from the definitions found in the literature review.
The groups are divided into eight main categories (in bold; see text for further clarification). The numbers after each group refers to the total number of analysis units placed in that group. NA = the definition did not contain a part referable to this main category; the number denotes how many definitions lacked this part.
