Does the exclusion of meiofauna affect the estimation of biotic indices using stream invertebrates?
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
Biomonitoring of rivers is usually undertaken using information based on macroinvertebrate assemblages.
However, exclusion of meiofauna (i.e. invertebrates less than 0.5 mm in size) when sorting benthic invertebrates
can ...
Effect of Sieve Mesh Size on the Estimation of Benthic Invertebrate Abundance and Composition in the Honi River, Kenya
(Nature Kenya/East African Natural History Society, 2014)
Characterisation of benthic invertebrate communities, taxonomic abundance and
composition provides information that is used during river bioassessment.
However, the mesh size of the sieves used during processing of ...
Benthic Macro-invertebrate Diversity and Biomass Distribution in Relation to Canopy Cover and Organic Matter in River Njoro, Kenya
(Egerton University, 2013)
Field experiments to quantify benthic macroinvertebrate density, diversity and biomass and benthic organic matter
(BOM) content in the River Njoro, Kenya, were conducted between January 2009 and April 2009 at four sites ...
A global review of the downstream effects of small impoundments on stream habitat conditions and macroinvertebrates
(NRC Research Press, 2015)
The downstream ecological effects of large impoundments have previously been reviewed; however, little is known about the downstream ecological effects of small man-made impoundments. In this review, we examine 94 papers ...
