American Naturalist , , 65— Journal of Animal Ecology , 49 , — Now, a flagship often refers to the most important or leading member of a group. For example, campaigns to save the Bengal tiger could help preserve forests and habitat for other creatures. For many people, the ocean is a dark place filled with creepy crawlies. Flagship species for the ocean can help make the sea a more charismatic place, worthy of conservation dollars.
Flagship species for the ocean could include polar bears, sea turtles, sharks, whales, and particularly charismatic fish. Examples include the elephant's role in maintaining habitat structure, and bats and insects in pollination.
By focussing on keystone species, conservation actions for that species may help to preserve the structure and function of a wide range of habitats which are linked with that species during its life cycle. What is an indicator species? An indicator species is a species or group of species chosen as an indicator of, or proxy for, the state of an ecosystem or of a certain process within that ecosystem.
Examples include crayfish as indicators of freshwater quality; corals as indicators of marine processes such as siltation, seawater rise and sea temperature fluctuation; peregrine falcons as an indicator of pesticide loads; or native plants as indicators for the presence and impact of alien species.
