The use of terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates as a management tool for monitoring change in ecosystems is reviewed and critically evaluated. Their suitability and value for assessing a range of environmental problems from pollution impacts, through habitat evaluation for conservation to the long-term degradation and recovery of ecosystems, is critically discussed. Guidelines are provided for the choice of appropriate bioindicators. Examples of the use of a broad spectrum of invertebrates to assess a variety of environmental problems are summarized. The particular potential of invertebrates for monitoring montane ecosystems is highlighted.
本文回顾并批判性地评估了将陆生和水生无脊椎动物用作监测生态系统变化的管理工具的情况。文中批判性地讨论了它们在评估一系列环境问题方面的适用性和价值，这些问题涵盖了从污染影响到栖息地保护评估，再到生态系统的长期退化和恢复。文中还提供了选择合适生物指示物的指导方针。总结了使用多种无脊椎动物评估各种环境问题的实例。文中强调了无脊椎动物在监测山地生态系统方面的特殊潜力。
