Benthic macroinvertebrate community of a fourth order stream in Kashmir Himalaya, India

Benthic Macroinvertebrate Composition In A Rural Zambian Stream

Benthic Macroinvertebrate/ Water Quality

The Ecology contribution to address this question is to determine possible physicochemical impacts on 1) pond water quality and biological integrity, and 2) avulsed pit pond water quality and biological integrity in the historical pit location and receiving waters. These questions will be addressed by all study partners together in a more comprehensive fashion after the interim phase of reporting.

Macroinvertebrate communities along a third-order Iberian stream

Many studies have tried to elucidate the main factors influencing macroinvertebrate community composition and abundance in streams (e.g. Hart 1992, Dudgeon 1994, Giller & Twomey 1993, Maridet et al. 1998, Tierney et al. 1998, Pardo 2000, Doisy & Rabeni 2001). Considerable attention has been paid to food resources (e.g. Hawkins & Sedell 1981, Cowan & Oswood 1984, Boulton & Lake 1992, Friberg 199...

A Multimetric Benthic Macroinvertebrate Index for the Assessment of Stream Biotic Integrity in Korea

At a time when anthropogenic activities are increasingly disturbing the overall ecological integrity of freshwater ecosystems, monitoring of biological communities is central to assessing the health and function of streams. This study aimed to use a large nation-wide database to develop a multimetric index (the Korean Benthic macroinvertebrate Index of Biological Integrity—KB-IBI) applica...
