| Title | Quantifying biological integrity by taxonomic completeness: evaluation of a potential indicator for use in regional-and global-scale assessments |
| Creator | Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | Water resources managers and conservation biologists need reliable, quantitative, and directly comparable methods for assessing the biological integrity of the world's aquatic ecosystems. Large-scale assessments are constrained by the lack of consistency in the indicators used to assess biological integrity and our current inability to translate between indicators. In theory, assessments based on estimates of taxonomic completeness, i.e., the proportion of expected taxa that were observed... |
