Terrestrial invertebrates as bioindicators in restoration ecology: A global bibliometric survey

摘要: Abstract Biodiversity promotion activities, such as ecological restoration, are recognized instruments to arrest and mitigate the diminishing health of ecosystems. The restoration fauna is a fundamental component this process but, despite this, there few studies that compile discuss knowledge produced on topic. Hence, by seeking general understanding what we currently know about terrestrial invertebrates bioindicators in restored ecosystems, present work sought organize way indicate gaps opportunities for both researchers restorers. To end, searched topics associated with ecology Web Science database, identifying which invertebrate groups have been studied relation intrinsic characteristics intervention, including type biome, disturbance, technique, age, project size, indices used. We found 154 published between 1995 2018: 93.5% were from 2002 onwards. detected growing number tendency evaluate functional groups. Moreover, was high concentration within taxonomic groups, notably Hymenoptera (Formicidae), Coleoptera, Lepidoptera. Many scenarios poorly studied, example, temperate coniferous forests or taiga biomes, previous disturbances caused pollution urbanization, under certain techniques brushwood transposition, investigations large old areas. There also paucity information concerning community population-level measures success, structure communities, biomass, dominance. some consequences these gaps. Finally, evaluated each characteristic considered, resulting guidance those wishing engage research monitoring organisms during process.
