Using ants for rangeland monitoring: Global patterns in the responses of ant communities to grazing (2010, background): “264 265 Conclusions 266 There is no question that ants are a useful bioindicator for disturbance analysis as they 267 have been shown to be so globally for more than 30 years (Majer 1983; Hoffmann & 268 Andersen 2003; Andersen & Majer 2004; Andersen et al. 2004).”
What is Meant by “95% of Species”? An Argument for the Inclusion of Rapid Tolerance Testing (2005, background): “Yet several freshwater macroinvertebrate taxa, which have received limited testing, have more described Australian species, including: Plecoptera 179, Chironomidae approximately 250, aquatic and semi-aquatic Hemiptera 271, Odonata 301, Hydarcarina 413, Trichoptera 489, and aquatic Coleoptera approxi”
Chronic anthropogenic disturbance causes homogenization of plant and ant communities in the Brazilian Caatinga (2016, background): “Plants and ants are suitable study groups to address cross-taxa responses to CAD because their local diversity can be used as surrogates of total biota diversity and can also be used as a predictor of biota responses to disturbance (Andersen et al. 2004; Leal et al. 2010).”
