Taxonomic resolution of benthic macroinvertebrate communities in bioassessments
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
It is concluded that biological monitoring studies yield the greatest benefits using genus- or species-level taxonomy, and a 2-tiered approach for taxonomy used in bioassessment studies is proposed, which is appropriate for different situations.
