• Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “These studies have generally concluded that the numbers of higher taxa are typically strongly correlated with species richness (Williams & Gaston, 1994; Balmford et al., 2000; Gaston, 2000).”
• Landscape structure as an indicator of biodiversity: matrix effects on species richness (2003, background): “Nevertheless, searching for combinations of taxa complementing one another in their indicative potential or testing higher taxon surrogacy (Gaston, 2000) remains an essential task for the identification of biodiversity indicators.”
• Surrogacy in natural patterns of benthic distribution and diversity: selected taxa versus lower taxonomic resolution (2007, background): “There might be several cases in which TS does not work, and the publication of such examples should be encouraged vigorously to ensure that another ‘file drawer problem’ (i.e. strong negative bias against publishing norelationship results; Csada et al. 1996, Gaston 2000) does not occur.”
• Maximising phylogenetic diversity in the selection of networks of conservation areas (2002, background): “A parallel situation may occur in practice if the study area includes sites with very marked differences in taxonomic structure (Gaston, 2000).”
• Diversity and guild structure of insect assemblages under grazing and exclusion regimes in a montane grassland from Central Argentina (2002, background): “Using the number of higher taxa as surrogate for species richness has many advantages and disadvantages (Gaston 2000).”
• Higher Taxa as Surrogates of Plant Biodiversity in a Megadiverse Country (2005, background): “Assessment of the surrogate should be less demanding in terms of resources than direct measurement (Gaston 1996a, 2000).”
• Polychaetes as surrogates for marine biodiversity: lower taxonomic resolution and indicator groups (2003, methodology): “…of surrogates have been used: (i) richness among higher taxa such as genera and families (e.g. Gaston and Williams 1993; Williams and Gaston 1994; Gaston 2000); (ii) indicator groups, which are subgroups from the total data matrix (e.g. Noss 1990; Pearson 1994; Beccaloni and Gaston 1995) and…”
• Landscape patch shape complexity as an effective measure for plant species richness in rural landscapes (2002, background): “…et al. 1996; Howard et al. 1998; Lawton et al. 1998; Virolainen et al. 2000), higher taxon richness (Andersen 1995; Balmford et al. 1996; Gaston 2000) or the use of environmental correlates (Linder 1991; Austin et al. 1996; Faith and Walker 1996; Findlay and Houlahan 1997; Heikkinen and…”
