topics (OpenAlex): Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts; Toxic Organic Pollutants Impact; Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals
TL;DR: The results suggested that water 17β-estradiol was reflective of GIS predictions, confirming the relevance of landscape-level influences on water quality and validating the GIS approach to characterize such relationships. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effectiveness of biodiversity indicators varies with extent, grain, and region

Hess, G. R., Bartel, R. A., Leidner, A. K., Rosenfeld, K. M., Rubino, M. J., Snider, S. B., & Ricketts, T. H. (2006, July 8). Biological Conservation, Vol. 132, pp. 448–457.

author keywords: indicator taxa; scale; grain; extent; biodiversity hotspots
topics (OpenAlex): Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies; Species Distribution and Climate Change; Rangeland and Wildlife Management
TL;DR: Examination of correlations in species richness between each of seven taxa and total richness of the remaining six taxa at varying grains and extents in two regions of the US suggests planning based on indicator relationships developed in other geographic locations is risky, even if planning occurs at an equivalent grain and extent.

author keywords: effectiveness; flagship species; focal species; indicator species; keystone species; surrogate species; umbrella species
topics (OpenAlex): Species Distribution and Climate Change; Economic and Environmental Valuation; Ecology and Vegetation Dynamics Studies
TL;DR: Tests of the effectiveness of surrogate species planning are reviewed to see if research supports the development of generalized rules for determining when and where surrogate species are an effective conservation tool and how surrogate species should be selected such that the resulting conservation plan will effectively protect biodiversity or achieve other conservation goals.
