| Title | Enhancing the performance and interpretation of freshwater biological indices: an application in arid zone streams |
| Creator | Vander Laan, J. J. Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | We assessed the performance of biological indices developed for invertebrate assemblages occurring in arid zone streams: a multimetric index (MMI) and an O/E index of taxonomic completeness. Our overall goal was to advance our understanding of the factors that affect performance and interpretation of biological indices. Our specific objectives were to (1) develop biological indices that are insensitive to natural environmental gradients, (2) develop a general method to determine if the... |
