Nevertheless, the richness of WKH
indicator species was in some cases high.
It is the only patch to feature migratory transients as
indicator species, including Black-throated Green Warbler and Swainson's Thrush (Table 6).
This is particularly true if regulations are focused on an
indicator species but the intent is also to control the harvest of other species in the assemblage.

Frogs are known as
indicator species because they have porous skin, which they use to breathe and to "drink" water.
The scientists suggest an urgent need to test relationships between the presence and abundance of potential
indicator species and other species or ecological processes, before we rely on them.
Equations were calculated separately for each
indicator species and then averaged to calculate mean competition intensity for each experimental plot.
Wherever you go, the tree to watch for is the Sitka spruce, an
indicator species of the temperate rainforest.
The variation of the community structure among the types of mesohabitats and the presence of
indicator species of specific types of habitats in the stream studied demonstrate the importance of heterogeneity for oligochaetes fauna in streams in forested regions.
Indicator species analysis was also used to characterize individual species' tolerance to different management schemes.
Butteries area key
indicator species of the health of our environment - if they are struggling, then many other species are struggling also," says Sir David.
