Are Water Beetles Good Indicators of Biodiversity in Mediterranean Aquatic Ecosystems? The Case of the Segura River Basin (SE Spain) (2006, background): “In this sense, several a priori suitability criteria have been proposed for the selection of indicators (Noss 1990; Pearson 1994; McGeoch 1998).”
Review of the Methods Frequently Used to Estimate the Abundance of Orthoptera in Grassland Ecosystems (2005, background): “…quantified the extent of populations of Orthoptera in the field, often as an indicator for conservation purposes (van Wingerden et al. 1992, 1993; McGeoch 1998; Wettstein and Schmid 1999; Bolger et al. 2000; Anderson et al. 2001; Gardiner et al. 2002), but also for studies of pest species such…”
The potential utility of rodents and other small mammals as indicators of ecosystem 'integrity' of South African grasslands (2011, background): “1982; New 1999), insects (Majer 1983; Pearson and Cassola 1992; Beccaloni and Gaston 1995; McGeoch 1998; Petit and Usher 1998; Rodríguez et al. 1998; Jones and Eggleton 2000; Orgeas and Andersen 2001; McGeoch et al. 2002; Rainio and Niemelä 2003; Baker 2006), fish (Karr et al.”
Biological Indicator Systems in Floodplains – a Review (2006, methodology): “Here we merge the concepts of MCGEOCH (1998) and ZEHLIUS-ECKERT (1998), classifying bioindication systems according to their purpose and the entity they indicate (see Fig.”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, neutral): “Understanding the degree to which different taxonomic groups show congruent biodiversity patterns is an important field of study in conservation biology (Gaston, 1996b) and environmental assessment (McGeogh, 1998).”
Climate Change Effects on Insects: Implications for Crop Protection and Food Security (2014, background): “Arthropods can be used as good bioindicators of human-driven changes in the environment, such as pollution, habitat loss, and fragmentation (McGeoch 1998), and monitoring of terrestrial arthropods can provide early warnings of ecological effects attributable to climate change.”
Structural indicators of spider communities across the forest plantation cycle (2005, background): “McGeoch (1998) suggested a framework of”
Habitat quality and biodiversity indicator performances of a threatened butterfly versus a multispecies group for wet heathlands in Belgium (2005, methodology): “Species have the benefit that several requirements relating to biotope quality, quantity and configuration can be defined or estimated, and this ecological knowledge may consequently be used as a standard for management planning and/or evaluation (Brooks et al., 2004; Hilty and Merenlender, 2000; M”
Is the insect apocalypse upon us? How to find out (2020, background): “Using indicator taxa can be an effective approach to sidestep aspects of the taxonomic impediment problem but doing so often results in inadequate knowledge and compromised measures of interest (McGeoch, 1998; Fleishman and Murphy, 2009).”
Indicators of biodiversity and ecosystem services: a synthesis across ecosystems and spatial scales (2009, background): “…sensu stricto, i.e. studies that clearly involved a purpose to indicate and ideally considered criteria of indicator suitability, such as reference to ecological theory, monotonic response to environmental impact and transparency to policy and decision makers (McGeoch 1998, Fairweather 1999).”
