Title | Reduction of Taxonomic Bias in Diatom Species Data |
Creator | Tyree, Meredith A. Bishop, Ian W. Hawkins, Charles P Mitchell, Richard Spaulding, Sarah A. |
Description | Inconsistency in taxonomic identification and analyst bias impede the effective use of diatom data in regional and national stream and lake surveys. In this study, we evaluated the effect of existing protocols and a revised protocol on the precision of diatom species counts. The revised protocol adjusts four elements of sample preparation, taxon identification and enumeration, and quality control (QC).
