DOI: 10.1007/s10750-021-04515-y
Abstract: Anthropic activities are one of the main drivers of change in the environmental characteristics of streams and the diversity of aquatic macroinvertebrates. We evaluated the influence of an anthropic gradient (varying degrees of impact) on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.04.020
Abstract: Abstract Multimetric indices are considered a low-cost and rapid means of assessing ecological integrity in streams. The present study aimed to develop and validate multimetric indices that permit evaluation of reduced impact logging (RIL) effects… read more here.
