Correcting for variation in recording effort in analyses of diversity hotspots

JR Prendergast, SN Wood, JH Lawton, BC Eversham - Biodiversity Letters, 1993 - JSTOR
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 …

Species richness covariance in higher taxa: empirical tests of the biodiversity indicator concept

JR Prendergast, BC Eversham - Ecography, 1997 - Wiley Online Library
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 …
