- 1 June 1999
Over the last three decades a great deal of research, money, and effort have been put into the devel- opment of theory and techniques designed to make conservation more efficient. Much of the recent… Expand
Correcting for variation in recording effort in analyses of diversity hotspots
- J. Prendergast, S. Wood, J. H. Lawton, B. Eversham
- Geography
- 1 March 1993
Interpretation of large-scale faunal and floral survey data is often frustrated by the bias caused by variation in recording intensity. Using distribution data for Odonata and Hepaticae from the… Expand
Species richness covariance in higher taxa: empirical tests of the biodiversity indicator concept
- J. Prendergast, B. Eversham
- Geography
- 1 April 1997
The distribution of much of the world's biodiversity is poorly known. It is suggested that the species richness of certain indicator taxa may reflect that of other, poorly studied taxa, making the… Expand
