Potential of remote sensing to predict species invasions (2015, background): “This phenomenon is also known as cross-taxon surrogacy or ‘cross-taxon congruency of community similarity’ (Su et al., 2004).”
How many endangered species are there in the United States (2005, result): “While some studies have found that coarse filters can be an effective means of protecting insect and bird diversity (Panzer and Schwartz 1998; Su et al. 2004), other studies have concluded that such approaches fail to capture the rarer species that are often of greatest interest to conservationists…”
How far can we go in simplifying biomonitoring assessments? An integrated analysis of taxonomic surrogacy, taxonomic sufficiency and numerical resolution in a megadiverse region (2012, background): “Because of the uncertainty about the efficiency of the surrogacy approach, the number of studies testing for community congruence (cross-taxon congruence or community concordance) is increasing steadily (e.g., Paszkowski and Tonn, 2000; Su et al., 2004; Macía et al., 2007).”
Changes in forest structure and species composition following invasion by a non-indigenous shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii) (2008, methodology): “To test compositional similarity between forest successional layers and among invasion chronosequence levels, cross-strata congruence analyses were performed (Su et al. 2004).”
Are Water Beetles Good Indicators of Biodiversity in Mediterranean Aquatic Ecosystems? The Case of the Segura River Basin (SE Spain) (2006, background): “Although a group could be a good indicator of biodiversity in one geographical area, it may not be representative of species richness patterns elsewhere, due to biogeographical or climatic constraints (Su et al. 2004), but it could be valid for regions with similar environmental and ecological featu”
Variation in the diversity and composition of benthic taxa as a function of distance offshore, depth and exposure in the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia (2005, background): “In contrast to the terrestrial biome (e.g. Lawton et al., 1998; Howard et al., 1998; Cleary et al., 2004; Su et al., 2004), very few studies have assessed multi-taxon diversity patterns in coral reef systems (but see Adjeroud, 1997).”
Using subsets of species in biodiversity surveys (2007, background): “For example, Su et al. (2004) considered correlations of 0·29–0·77 for site-to-site community dissimilarity values across different taxa to be useful in predicting species composition in one group based on another.”
The value of primary, secondary and plantation forests for fruit-feeding butterflies in the Brazilian Amazon (2007, result): “In this respect, our results suggest that patterns of community turnover in butterflies provide a more effective indicator of habitat change than either patterns of species richness or abundance (Table 3), or the abundance of specific species (cf. Su et al. 2004 ).”
Recommendations for Assessing the Effectiveness of Surrogate Species Approaches (2006, background): “A conservation plan might score well using some criteria, but not others (Su et al. 2004; Warman et al. 2004).”
Biodiversity consequences of land-use change and forest disturbance in the Amazon:a multi-scale assessment using ant communities (2016, result): “This illustrates the limited value of species richness as an indicator of changes in habitat quality, and our results reinforce calls to consider species composition and community turnover when assessing the impacts of forest disturbance (Su et al. 2004, Barlow et al. 2007a).”
How wide to cast the net? Cross-taxon congruence of species richness, community similarity and indicator taxa in ponds (2006, background): “similarity in composition should be considered (Su et al., 2004).”
The conservation value of farmland ponds: Predicting water beetle assemblages using vascular plants as a surrogate group (2010, methodology): “…more efficient has led to an increasing interest in the identification of surrogate taxa as potential biodiversity indicators (e.g. Margules and Pressey, 2000; Sætersdal et al., 2003) using cross-taxon congruence analysis (e.g. Prendergast et al., 1993; Howard et al., 1998; Su et al., 2004).”
