| Title | Exclusion of rare taxa affects the performance of the O/E index in bioassessments |
| Creator | Sickle, J. Van Larsen, D. P. Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | The contribution of rare taxa to bioassessments based on multispecies assemblages is the subject of continued debate. As a result, users of predictive models such as River InVertebrate Prediction and Classification System (RIVPACS) disagree on whether to exclude locally rare taxa from the O/E index, where O is the number of taxa observed in a sampled assemblage, and E is the number that would be expected if the site were in a minimally disturbed reference condition. We assessed how the... |
