Mahseer (Tor spp.) fishes of the world: status, challenges and opportunities for conservation (2019, background): “These large omnivorous fishes can act as top predators, potentially acting as key agents in trophic cascades, but also as ‘flagship’ and ‘umbrella’ focal species; thus mobilising wider public support for protection and restoration of the networks of interconnected habitats upon which they depend to ”
Using latent variable models to identify large networks of species‐to‐species associations at different spatial scales (2016, background): “This enables the systematic detection of indicator species, whose presence reflects the presences of other species in the community (Caro 2010).”
Participant Outcomes of Biodiversity Citizen Science Projects: A Systematic Literature Review (2019, unknown): “It is common practice to use such so-called flagship species to raise public awareness of biodiversity conservation issues [64].”
A methodological protocol for Annex i Habitats monitoring: The contribution of vegetation science (2016, background): “It is the case, for instance, of the so-called ‘early warning species’ or ‘sentinels’ (Caro, 2010) which, in most cases, are not typical taxa but rather indicators of environmental alterations.”
