Acoustic indices enable the discrimination of temperate forest types and better predict differences in bird species composition than in bird species richness
Acoustic indices have been proposed as a tool to estimate animal biodiversity and abundance, as well as habitat types and vegetation structure. However, recent studies have reported inconsistent relationships between acoustic indices and environmental metrics. In this study, we recorded soundscapes…

Umbrella index as a conservation tool across pondscapes: A case study using frogs, aquatic insects, and plants in South Africa
Biological surrogates are valuable for conservation when they are easy and cost-effective to sample, sensitive to anthropogenic change, and show similar assemblage patterns to other taxa. The umbrella index (UI) developed by Fleishman et al. (2000), aims to conserve most species in an ecosystem by…

A systematic review of the role of terrestrial vertebrates in ecological integrity assessment
Natural systems face human pressures, demanding urgently Ecological Integrity (EI) assessments. EI assessments identify the state of an ecosystem through biotic and abiotic indicators. Fauna is a key element in the functioning of ecosystems, and therefore, their inclusion in the indicator stock may…
