• Terrestrial invertebrate surveys and rapid biodiversity assessment in New Zealand: lessons from Australia (2004, background): “Conservation and biodiversity assessments that use invertebrates allow patterns of diversity and environmental quality to be measured at scales that are often more meaningful than those measured using plants and vertebrates (Yen and Butcher, 1997).”
• Developing indicators for European birds (2005, background): “In a review of indicator taxa, Hilty & Merenlender (2000) concluded that ambiguous and sometimes conflicting selection criteria often brought the utility of the indicators into question.”
• The verification and application of bioindicators: a case study of dung beetles in a savanna ecosystem (2002, background): “The use of multiple rather than single species in bioindication has been advocated to minimize dependence on individual taxa and to improve confidence by basing conclusions on a wider array of responses (Hilty & Merenlander 2000).”
• Population trends of widespread woodland birds in Europe (2007, background): “There are a number of different terms used under the heading of indicators and although these are often interchanged, they tend to have specific meaning (Lambeck 1997, Caro & O’Doherty 1998, Simberloff 1998, Hilty & Merenlender 2000, Roberge & Angelstam 2004).”
• Habitat quality and biodiversity indicator performances of a threatened butterfly versus a multispecies group for wet heathlands in Belgium (2005, methodology): “ Hilty and Merenlender (2000) outlined a step-wise decision-making framework for the compilation of a set of taxonomically diverse indicator species.”
• Use of terrestrial invertebrates for biodiversity monitoring in Australian rangelands, with particular reference to ants (2004, background): “2002b), the efficiency of an entire-assemblage approach is open to question (Hilty & Merenlender 2000).”
• The influence of habitat integrity and physical-chemical water variables on the structure of aquatic and semi-aquatic Heteroptera (2010, background): “Macroinvertebrates (especially aquatic insects) are widely used as bioindicators because they have limited ability to migrate and are highly susceptible to environmental impacts (HILTY & MERENLENDER 2000, OERTLI et al. 2008).”
• Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) pass the bioindicator scorecard (2007, background): “Several studies have endeavoured to answer these questions by drawing up lists of criteria for an ideal bioindicator and then considering the attributes of various taxa against this list (e.g., HOLLOWAY & STORK 1991, PEARSON & CASSOLA 1992, PEARSON 1994, BROWN 1997, HILTY & MERENLENDER 2000).”
