    Caddisfly (order Trichoptera), a macroinvertebrate used as an indicator of water quality. [1] A bioindicator is any species (an indicator species) or group of species whose function, population, or status can reveal the qualitative status of the environment. The most common indicator species are animals. [2]

    Indicator organisms are used as a proxy to monitor conditions in a particular environment, ecosystem, area, habitat, or consumer product. Certain bacteria , fungi and helminth eggs are being used for various purposes.

  4. Biotic index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotic_index

    Numerous biotic indices have been created to account for the indicator species found in each region of study. The concept of the biotic index was developed by Cherie Stephens in an effort to provide a simple measurement of stream pollution and its effects on the biology of the stream. [citation needed]

  5. Ecological indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_indicator

    Ecosystems are complex and ecological indicators can help describe them in simpler terms that can be understood and used by non-scientists to make management decisions. For example, the number of different beetle taxa found in a field can be used as an indicator of biodiversity. Many different types of indicators have been developed.

  6. Measurement of biodiversity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_of_biodiversity

    Species evenness is the relative number of individuals of each species in a given area. [1] Species richness [2] is the number of species present in a given area. Species diversity [3] is the relationship between species evenness and species richness. There are many ways to measure biodiversity within a given ecosystem.

  9. Two-way indicator species analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_indicator_species...

    Two-way indicator species analysis (TWINSPAN) is a Fortran-based statistical analysis method described in 1979 by Mark O. Hill. [1] It is widely used in ecological research. [ 2 ] As of 1997, it was the only widespread standardized method to identify indicator plants.
