• Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches (2006, background): “…presence of surrogate species or taxa predicted for regional biodiversity (Rubino and Hess 2003), species richness of a particular taxa (Hughes et al. 2000; Kerr et al. 2000; Mikusinski et al. 2001; Sahlen and Ekestubbe 2001), or the presence of a particular suite of species (Suter et al. 2002).”
• Dragonflies and damselflies (Odonata) in urban ecosystems: A review (2016, background): “Odonates have been used extensively as a bioindicator group of habitat quality (Clark & Samways, 1996; Sahlén & Ekestubbe, 2001; Foote & Rice Hornung, 2005; Subramanian et al., 2008; Clausnitzer et al., 2009; Dolný et al., 2011) and are one of the taxa included in the Biological Monitoring Working…”
• Dragonfly Assemblages in Arid Tropical Environments: A Case Study from Western Namibia (2005, background): “In our context the presence of particular species in distinct habitats would indicate the completeness of the typical community expected at such sites (cf. Sahlén and Ekestubbe 2001).”
• Odonata enter the biodiversity crisis debate: The first global assessment of an insect group (2009, background): “…understand the status of biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems then odonates provide an excellent easy-to-use indicator group (clausnitzer 2004, sahlén & ekestubbe 2001, samways & steytler 1996, suhling et al. 2006) with which to start. specific conservation action plans for every threatened…”
• Diversity and community composition of butterflies and odonates in an ENSO-induced fire affected habitat mosaic: a case study from East Kalimantan, Indonesia (2004, unknown): “…have been identified as important indicator organisms for assessing biodiver- sity, and for monitoring ecosystem responses to environ- mental perturbations (Dennis 1993, Fuller et al. 1998, Howard et al. 1998, Stewart and Samways 1998, Blair 1999, Parmesan et al. 1999, Sahlen and Ekestubbe 2001).”
• Dragonfly communities in coastal habitats of Kenya: indication of biotope quality and the need of conservation measures (2003, background): “Dragonflies (Insecta: Odonata) utilise aquatic and terrestrial habitats, are large, predominantly diurnal, can be readily observed and in most cases easily identified in the field, and can contribute much to the evaluation of environmental quality (e.g. Sahlén and Ekestubbe 2001).”
• Dragonfly community re‐organisation in boreal forest lakes: rapid species turnover driven by climate change? (2008, methodology): “This was pointed out by Sahlén and Ekestubbe (2001): an indicator does not indicate anything outside the region where it has been tested.”
