Taxonomic relatedness does not matter for species surrogacy in the assessment of community responses to environmental drivers

2012-04-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Taxonomic sufficiency concerns the use of higher‐taxon diversity as a surrogate for species diversity. It represents a fast and cost‐effective method to assess community responses to natural and anthropogenic environmental drivers. In spite of the potential applications of using higher taxa as surrogates for species, little research has been carried out to determine the underlying reasons that might make taxono...
