Comparison of the abiotic preferences of macroinvertebrates in tropical river basins.

Comparison of the abiotic preferences of macroinvertebrates in tropical river basins.

We assessed and compared abiotic preferences of aquatic macroinvertebrates in three river basins located in Ecuador, Ethiopia and Vietnam. Upon using logistic regression models we analyzed the relationship between the probability of occurrence of five macroinvertebrate families, ranging from polluti...
