Stress Indicators in Fish (2016, background): “Stress transcends levels of biological organization; measuring stress also serves to link organismal responses to population-level processes (Calow and Forbes, 1998; Fefferman and Romero, 2013) and ecosystem health (Dale and Beyeler, 2001).”
Assessment of functional integrity of eutrophic streams using litter breakdown and benthic macroinvertebrates (2006, background): “Ecological integrity can be partitioned into structural and functional components which should be evaluated simultaneously to draw a reliable picture of ecosystem health (Karr 1999, Dale & Beyeler 2001, Gessner & Chauvet 2002).”
Exergy and Fisher Information as ecological indices (2004, background): “Other indices that meet specific assessment-oriented, directional criteria can be categorized as ecological indicators ( Dale and Beyeler, 2001 ).”
Integrating ecological, economic and social aspects to generate useful management information under the EU Directives' ‘ecosystem approach’ (2012, background): “Several schemes and classifications of catalogued indicators are available (see, for example, Belfiore et al., 2003; Dale and Beyeler, 2001; Hellawell, 1986; Marques et al., 2009).”
Bryophytes as potential indicators of forest integrity (2007, neutral): “Carignan and Villard, 2002; Lindenmayer et al., 2002; Dale and Beyeler, 2001; Simberloff, 1999, 1998).”
Framing environmental indicators: moving from causal chains to causal networks (2008, background): “This leads to oversimplification of spatial and temporal interactions, which often leads to poorly informed management decisions (Dale and Beyeler, 2001).”
Vegetation diversity and vertical structure as indicators of forest disturbance (2004, background): “Understory vegetation is the key element representing ecological changes that may occur over a few years to decades, and vegetation structure can indicate differences in disturbance regimes (Dale and Beyeler, 2001; Dale et al., 2002).”
How do ecologists select and use indicator species to monitor ecological change? Insights from 14 years of publication in Ecological Indicators (2016, neutral): “259 3) Select the candidate IS and demographic parameters based on criteria given 260 by Cairns and Pratt (1993), Dale and Beyeler (2001) or Carignan and Villard 261 (2002).”
Ants as indicators of environmental change and ecosystem processes (2017, background): “…of responses to various environmental changes equires measures that match the habitat and degradation type n question (Carignan and Villard, 2002; Dale and Beyeler, 2001; ead and Andersen, 2000; Ricotta et al., 2015; Siddig et al., 2016). ifferent measures of ant diversity have been successfully…”
