Taking shortcuts to measure species diversity: parasitoid Hymenoptera subfamilies as surrogates of species richness
M Mazón - Biodiversity and conservation, 2016 - Springer
When trying to assess entomological diversity, identifying taxa at levels higher than species
is much easier and may provide a wider vision of other ecological features. In this work, we …

Cross-taxonomic surrogates for biodiversity conservation in human-modified landscapes–A multi-taxa approach
Cross-taxonomic surrogates are often used in conservation planning because inventorying
large suites of taxa is either not feasible or too costly. However, cross-taxonomic surrogates …
