A diversity and functional approach to evaluate the macroinvertebrate responses to multiple stressors in a small subtropical austral river

A diversity and functional approach to evaluate the macroinvertebrate responses to multiple stressors in a small subtropical austral river

Aquatic macroinvertebrates are considered effective bioindicators of ecosystem health due to their different sensitivities to habitat alteration and pollution. Macroinvertebrate community structures can be assessed using commonly used diversity-based approaches, however, functional trait-based appro...
