Environmental contamination research has been quite interesting in bioindicators recently.
The basic objective of bioindicator research is to find species that can reliably detect …

The dramatic increase in soil degradation in the last few decades has led to the need to
identify methods to define not only soil quality but also, in a holistic approach, soil health. In …

One of the primary goals of research on bioindicators is to identifyspecies or other taxonomic
units that would reliably indicate disturbances inthe environment, and reflect the responses …

We review critical issues that must be considered when selectingindicator species for a
monitoring program that aims to maintainor restore ecological integrity. First, we examine the …

Entomology has had many applications in many biological domains (ie insect counting as a
biodiversity index). To meet a growing biological demand and to compensate a decreasing …

While most efforts at biodiversity conservation have focused primarily on protected areas
and reserves, the unprotected lands surrounding those area—the" matrix"—are equally …

Classic studies have successfully linked single-species abundances, life-history traits,
assemblage structures and biomass of carabid beetles to past and present, human-caused …

International and Canadian national and provincial level policy have proposed the use of

We describe a litter-washing technique for collecting quantitative samples of ground-beetles
(Carabidae), and compare the results with those from liner extraction by Tullgren funnels …

This literature review concerns insect responses to fire, compared to other feasible and
