How do low-abundance taxa affect river biomonitoring? Exploring the response of different macroinvertebrate-based indices
The contribution of rare taxa to aquatic bioassessments remains a subject of debate, and generates contrasting positions among researchers. Very little is known about the effect of low-abundance taxa (LAT) for calculating both single and multimetric macroinvertebrate-based indices, as well as the ec...
