How indicator species are used to assess pollution in the environment?
Indicator species can be used in one of two ways: * the indicator species is one which easily affected by the pollutant. Specimens are kept in an area and observed. When they show distress the pollution rate is climbing, and this happens before the hardier species are impacted. Think of canaries in coal mines. * When a biologist inspects an ecosystem he keeps track of the population and the species present. If only hardy (pollution resistant) species are present the ecology has become degraded. If sensitive species are present the environemt is still good.
