Bioindication or biomonitoring can be considered a type of applied ecology. Its primary goal is to use organisms living within natural communities to monitor the impact of disturbance and to use this knowledge in the management of the ecological system. An indicator taxon is one that is of narrow amplitude with respect to one or more environmental factors. When the species is present, it indicates the presence of certain environmental parameters. It Introduces the categories of indicators and introduces representative indicator insect species(e.g., butterflies, Carabid species).
