Long-term Spatial and Temporal Variability of Benthic Macroinvertebrate Communities: Implications for Bioassessment of Lotic Systems

The structure and composition of benthic macroinvertebrate communities can vary spatially and over time. Spatial and temporal variation along a stream has many implications for population and community dynamics, which may influence bioassessment programs. I examined variability in the benthic commu...
