The importance of metacommunity ecology for environmental assessment research in the freshwater realm
J Heino - Biological Reviews, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Most bioassessment programs rest on the assumption that species have different niches,
and that abiotic environmental conditions and changes therein determine community …
