Utility of indicator thresholds across spatial gradients for applications to ecosystem‐based fisheries management by Shannon M. Hennessey, Jamison M. Gove, Mary K. Donovan

“…Several indicators showed considerable overlap in threshold locations with common drivers, especially for rugosity (habitat complexity) and wave forcing. While some indicators comprising nested species, species complexes, and functional groups had comparable thresholds with a common driver, this was not always the case, highlighting the need for careful consideration when selecting indicators for management applications. …”
