Nonnative Species Limitation of Floristic Quality Scores in Wetland Mitigation Performance and Multimetric Health assessment
Nonnative species have minimum ecological conservatism that invariably limits floristic quality scores. This means nonnative species could prevent...

Impoverished fish assemblages of temperate Neotropical streams respond to environmental degradation and support a sensitive Index of Biotic Integrity
Fish as bioindicators are a widely used tool for environmental monitoring of freshwater ecosystems worldwide. However, its adaptation to temperate...

Assessing Nutrient Assimilation by Wetland Impoundments Across Environmental Gradients
Wetland impoundments are constructed for recreational and conservational purposes. Here, the water level can be carefully controlled, producing ideal...

A new trophic index (TIM2S) to evaluate trophic alteration of small shallow lakes: a predictive reference-based approach
Small shallow lakes (SSLs) have great conservation value and support numerous ecosystem services. However, these small ecosystems are faced with many...

Temporal Variability of Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in a Mediterranean Coastal Stream: Implications for Bioassessment
Macroinvertebrates from a small forest stream in central-south Chile were sampled monthly from September 2017 to August 2018 to assess temporal...

Nonnative invasive species are overlooked in biological integrity assessments
Multimetric indices (MMIs) are common tools used to assess the biological status of ecosystems. However, not all the components of biological...

Macroinvertebrates at the source: flow duration and seasonality drive biodiversity and trait composition in rheocrene springs of the Western Allegheny Plateau, USA
Documenting flow regimes and the ecology of source headwater streams has gained considerable attention for scientific and regulatory purposes. These...
