Resumo
Given the current biodiversity crisis, exercises that identify indicator groups capable of representing
the whole diversity of a region have become indispensable to develop strategies for effective
conservation actions. These groups help to guide actions, reducing time for decision making. Irrespective
of the applied indicator groups, all current conservation strategies are based upon the conceptual framework
of Systematic Conservation Planning, in which the selection of areas to be preserved must meet
the criterion of complementarity. Furthermore, current strategies must take into consideration different
aspects of biodiversity (e.g. functional diversity), as well as species richness. In this article, we review
and discuss the numerous applications of indicator groups as a shortcut to the proposition of integrated
conservation plans. We also present practical suggestions to implement indicator groups aiming at the
conservation of different aspects of biodiversity. Whenever supported by ecological theory, the use of
indicator groups provides fundamental scientific basis for decisions regarding the targeting of efforts to
establish areas for biodiversity conservation.
