Diatom biomonitoring – scientific foundations, commonly discussed issues and frequently made errors

Phylogenetic signal in diatom ecology: perspectives for aquatic ecosystems biomonitoring.

Diatoms include a great diversity of taxa and are recognized as powerful bioindicators in rivers. However using diatoms for monitoring programs is costly and time consuming because most of the methodologies necessitate species-level identification. This raises the question of the optimal trade-off between taxonomic resolution and bioassessment quality. Phylogenetic tools may form the bases of n...
