Seabirds as indicators of the marine environment (2008, unknown): “other subjective criteria (Gregory et al., 2003).”
A behavioural ecology approach to understand volunteer surveying for citizen science datasets (2012, background): “Continual gathering of information on common species is useful, for example, if used to represent changes in rarer species with similar habitat use and to detect declines (Gregory et al. 2003; Gregory and van Strien 2010).”
The Wildlife Picture Index: monitoring top trophic levels (2010, methodology): “The geometric mean thus can be used to develop the trend for a population of species (Gregory et al., 2003).”
High-resolution image texture as a predictor of bird species richness (2006, background): “Bird communities are good indicators of biodiversity and habitat quality, partly because they encompass a wide range of niches and life-history requirements (Gregory et al., 2003).”
Developing indicators for European birds (2005, methodology): “The basic question of whether an individual species, or group of species, can indicate anything about species and environmental health more broadly remains contentious; in some cases this appears to be true (e.g. Gregory et al. 2003; Gregory et al. 2004b), in others, not.”
