Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4577

Abstract: Abstract Due to the heterogeneous distribution of resources along large rivers, understanding prey utilization by basin‐scale fish assemblages remains a challenge, and thus, recognizing regional fish trophic guilds and indicator species is important. We analyzed… read more here.

Published in 2020 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02084-5

Abstract: In many applications, conservation organizations depend on one species to indicate the presence of another. While extensive research has gone into methods for selecting these indicator species, few studies have directly measured the performance of… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Global Ecology and Conservation"

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01665

Abstract: Abstract Understanding the spatial distribution pattern, species characteristics of moss taxa, and their relationship with heavy metals is important for biodiversity conservation and heavy metals pollution management in manganese mining areas. Characteristics of moss species… read more here.

Published in 2021 at "Global Ecology and Conservation"

DOI: 10.1016/j.gecco.2021.e01667

Abstract: Abstract Because resources are finite, conservation practices can be based on shortcuts (i.e., a quicker way to a desired outcome). For example, indicator species are often used as a shortcut to justify conservation at greater… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Scientific Reports"

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-20796-y

Abstract: Global climate change is contributing to declines in biodiversity, although changes vary across geographic regions and species. The iconic greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) is central to conservation within the North American sagebrush ecosystem, yet… read more here.

Published in 2019 at "Environmental Entomology"

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvz037

Abstract: Abstract The Scolytinae is highly diversified in tropical forests, but richness and abundance patterns within most Ecuadorian forest habitat types are not yet characterized. In this study, we assessed patterns of variation in Scolytinae richness,… read more here.
