| Title | Effects of sampling error on bioassessments of stream ecosystems: application to RIVPACS-type models |
| Creator | Ostermiller, J. D. Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | We evaluated the influence of various sources of sampling error on the precision, accuracy, and sensitivity of bioassessments based on River Invertebrate Prediction and Classification System (RIVPACS)-type models. We used data from 98 minimally altered streams in western Oregon and Washington to generate 18 models representing 2 field collection techniques (fixed-area riffle and multiple-habitat collections) and 9 levels of subsampling (50, 100, . . . 450 fixed counts). For each model, we... |
