Description: The use of static indicator species, in which species are expected to have a similar sensitivity or tolerance to either
natural or human-induced stressors, does not account for possible shifts in tolerance along natural environmental
gradients and between biogeographic regions. Their indicative value may therefore be considered at least
questionable. In this paper we demonstrate how species… more
