The general aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of species characteristics in national public decisions regarding species and their conversation. The central question of the research conducted for this thesis was to what extent perceivable species characteristics and related assigned values of species (i.e., the relative importance or worth of a species to an individual or group in a given context; Brown 1984) are likely to affect conservation-related public decisions regarding specific wild animal species. From this central research question, four specific research questions were derived:
- The first specific research question asked whether taxon-bases and size-bases (i.e., related to a species' relative size within a taxon) patterns are present in conservation-related public decisions regarding specific animal species and if so what the nature of such patterns is.
- The second specific research question asked to what extent possible taxon-based and size-based patterns have hanged over time.
- The third specific research question asked what the demands and support of different actors or interests in public species conservation are primarily as a function of species' taxon and species' size, and secondarily of species' population characteristics.
- The fourth specific research question asked what new methodological approaches can be developed to overcome limitations of previous research.
