Macroecological patterns of species and genetic diversity in vascular plants of the Mediterranean basin (2010, background): “This suggests that richness in woody plant taxa is a valid indicator (and surrogate) of biodiversity levels in other taxonomic groups, e.g. vascular plants in general (this study) and insects (Kati et al., 2004).”
Co-variation and indicators of species diversity: Can richness of forest-dwelling species be predicted in northern boreal forests? (2006, methodology): “, 2005) but less often in small-scale (Howard et al., 1998; Jonsson and Jonsell, 1999; Pharo et al., 1999; Berglund and Jonsson, 2001; Ranius, 2002; Kati et al., 2004).”
Relationships among levels of biodiversity and the relevance of intraspecific diversity in conservation - a project synopsis (2008, result): “Alternatively, deducing overall species richness from a taxonomic subset of organisms, thought to be representative of other taxonomic groups, is widespread, but has yielded contradictory results (e.g. Sætersdal et al., 2003; Kati et al., 2004; Sauberer et al., 2004; Englisch et al., 2005).”
Seven Reasons Why Protists Make Useful Bioindicators (2013, background): “…a major question is how to direct conservation efforts to maximise preservation of biodiversity; the diversity of all groups cannot be feasibly studied in all areas so there is a desire to identify indicator organisms as proxies for ecosystem biodiversity (Schulze et al. 2004, Kati et al. 2004).”
The amphibian decline crisis: A watershed for conservation biology? (2005, background): “Kati et al. (2004) compared six groups of taxa to determine their efficiency as biodiversity indicators in northern Greece.”
Biodiversity: Function and Assessment in Agricultural Areas: A Review (2005, background): “Instead of measure all the biodiversity, many scientists hold the view that the dynamics of taxa gives a picture of the dynamics of biodiversity [34, 36, 37, 64, 65, 68, 80, 107, 108].”
Complementarity analysis: Mapping the performance of surrogates for biodiversity (2006, background): “Araujo et al., 2004; Kati et al., 2004; Saetersdal et al., 2004; Trakhtenbrot and Kadmon, 2005).”

Are Water Beetles Good Indicators of Biodiversity in Mediterranean Aquatic Ecosystems? The Case of the Segura River Basin (SE Spain) (2006, background): “In this sense and taking into consideration that environmental heterogeneity is one of the main factors generating biological diversity (Cellot et al. 1994; Huston 1994; Kati et al. 2004), the complementary network of water beetles encompasses the gradient of environmental heterogeneity and thus con”
The value of primary, secondary and plantation forests for fruit-feeding butterflies in the Brazilian Amazon (2007, background): “Low levels of congruency have been found among the responses of higher taxonomic groups to habitat disturbance (Lawton et al. 1998; Ghazoul 2002; Kati et al. 2004; but see Schulze et al. 2004).”
