Fish and invertebrate assemblage data collected from 670 stream sites in Minnesota (USA)
were used to calculate concordance across three nested spatial scales (statewide …

Community concordance describes similarity in distributions and abundances of organisms
from different taxonomic groups across a region of interest, with highly concordant …

The use of multiple taxa rather than a single taxon of stream organisms in ecological studies
appears to be necessary to interpret independent environmental influences and interactions …

Evaluations of stream geomorphic condition may increase our understanding of the
composite effects of human‐induced habitat change on fish communities. Using systematic …

The recently proposed index of biotic integrity (IBI) was evaluated for several watersheds
throughout the midwestern United States. Five of the community metrics comprising the IBI …

The number of community types occurring within landscapes is an important, but often
unprotected, component of biological diversity. Generally applicable protocols for …

To aid in assessing the extent of degradation in non-tidal streams, a multi-metric Index of
Biotic Integrity (IBI) based on fish assemblages was developed for the Maryland Biological …

The determinants of a local-scale biological community can include both abiotic and biotic
factors acting at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Previous studies have shown that …

Quantitative indicators of biological integrity are needed for streams in the Great Plains of
North America, but it was not known whether the index of biotic integrity (IBI) approach …

We examined patterns of concordance between macroinvertebrate and fish communities
among adventitious and ordinate tributaries of the Monongahela River in southwestern …
