Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Insects as biodiversity indicators - URGENT

Hi everyone

I wanted to ask which families or species of insects would be best suited as biodiversity indicators, for a variety of habitats. Also, which counting method is best to determine the number of individuals in the field? Another question is regarding the minimal number of trips one should make to the desired place to count (I wanted to know if anyone has any suggestion). Sorry if I?m sounding like I?m pushing for an answer, but this is kind of urgent, so fast answers will be greatly appreciated!
