“Introduction Information on the distribution and diversity of species is widely used as a basis for setting conservation priorities, selecting reserve sites and conservation management. In these practical applications of conservation biology, indicator species groups are often used as a surrogate for overall biodiversity (e.g. Williams et al. 1996; Mittermeier et al. 1998; Stattersfield et al. 1998; Mac Nally et al. 2002; Thiollay 2002).
