Monitoring for conservation.
TL;DR: It is argued that monitoring should not be viewed as a stand-alone activity, but instead as a component of a larger process of either conservation-oriented science or management, which would lead to substantial increases in the efficiency and usefulness of monitoring results in conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring Matters: Examining the Potential of Locally-based Approaches
TL;DR: Locally-based monitoring of biodiversity and resource use by professional scientists is often costly and hard to sustain, especially in developing countries, where financial resources are limited, and is often perceived to be irrelevant by resource managers and the local communities as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: A typology of monitoring categories, defined by their degree of local participation, is suggested, ranging from no local involvement with monitoring undertaken by professional researchers to an entirely local effort with monitoring undertook by local people, to help develop a protocol for monitoring in developing countries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring change in biodiversity through composite indices
TL;DR: It is concluded that no single index can capture all aspects of biodiversity change, but that a modified Shannon index and the geometric mean of relative abundance have useful properties.
