| Title | Comparability of biological assessments derived from predictive models and multimetric indices of increasing geographic scope |
| Creator | Ode, P. R. Hawkins, Charles P. Mazor, R. D. |
| Description | The increasing demand for tools that can score biological condition from aquatic community data has spurred the creation of many predictive models (e.g., observed/expected [O/E] indices) and multimetric indices (MMIs). The geographic and environmental scopes of these indices vary widely, and coverages often overlap. If indices developed for large environmentally heterogeneous regions provide results equivalent to those developed for smaller regions, then regulatory entities could adopt... |
