Most studies dealing with the use of ecological indicators and other applied ecological
research rely on some definition or concept of what constitutes least-, intermediate-and most …

To define whether the beta diversity of stream invertebrate communities in N ew Z ealand
exhibits geographical variation unexplained by variation in gamma diversity and, if so, what …

Stream communities are structured by factors acting over multiple spatial and temporal
scales. Identifying what factors are driving spatial patterns in stream communities is a central …

Both catchment geology and land use surrounding a stream will affect the degree of fine
sediment deposition from erosion and its consequent impacts on stream macroinvertebrate …

Increased demands for water affect its quality and availability and threaten biodiversity. In
freshwaters, the Chironomidae (Diptera) represents~ 50% of macroinvertebrate individuals …

Chironomidae spatial distribution was investigated at 63 near-pristine sites in 22 catchments
of the Iberian Mediterranean coast. We used partial redundancy analysis to study …

Analyses of species association have major implications for selecting indicators for
freshwater biomonitoring and conservation, because they allow for the elimination of …

Assessing the effects of invading species on native community structure is often confounded
