Changes in arthropod diversity along a land use driven gradient of shrub cover in savanna rangelands: identification of suitable indicators (2009, methodology): “Although beetles were also found to be aVected by land use in other studies (RiversMoore and Samways 1996; Jankielsohn et al. 2001; Fabricius et al. 2003), the suitability of a taxonomic group to indicate land use-induced changes in vegetation varies between ecosystems (McGeogh et al. 2002).”
The Role of Informal Protected Areas in Maintaining Biodiversity in the Western Ghats of India (2005, background): “There are very few empirical studies where such a comparison is made (but see Fabricius et al. 2003, Velazquez et al. 2003), nor where the effectiveness of protected areas is compared with the surrounding landscape matrix from a range of stakeholder viewpoints, including that of the local people…”
