| Title | Environmental disturbance can increase beta diversity of stream macroinvertebrate assemblages |
| Creator | Hawkins, Charles P. Mykra, H. Oksanen, J. Vander Laan, J. J. |
| Description | Aim Freshwater biodiversity is declining world-wide as a result of human-caused degradation of freshwater ecosystems. Declines in species richness are well documented for many taxonomic groups, but less is known about how and why species composition and beta diversity (β) change in response to environmental degradation in freshwater environments. Location The Mid-Atlantic Highlands region of the USA (36–42° N, 74–82° E) and Finland in northern Europe (60–68° N, 20–32° E). Methods We used null... |
