Due to the sensitivity of many these organisms changes in water composition, resources assessment using aquatic macroinvertebrates found lotic systems is a good indicator quality. The information regarding taken from different indices, such as Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) score, Andean Biotic Index (ABI), and Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, Trichoptera (EPT) Index, which are most frequ...

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the water quality of Çoruh Basin using BMWP (Biological Monitoring Working Party) index, ASPT (Average Score Per Taxon) Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index, EPT (Ephemeroptera Plecoptera Trichoptera taxa), EP taxa) index scores and benthic macroinvertebrates. The macroinvertebrates were collected from 54 stations at basin between 2014-2016 years. Standard hand...

In order to examine the effects of some physicochemical parameters on zoobenthic community structure in Porsuk Stream, seasonal samples were collected from 6 stations between 2020-2021, and also measured. Within scope study, a total 30 families, 4 Gastropoda, 1 Bivalvia, 3 Clitellata, 22 Insecta, identified. Families Tubificidae, Erpobdellidae, Chironomidae identified at each station. Dominant ...

Los macroinvertebrados acuáticos son ampliamente utilizados en los estudios ambientales principalmente la bioindicación donde su adecuada utilización depende del conocimiento que se tenga de esta comunidad. El objetivo presente estudio fue determinar influencia microhábitat sobre dos índices más para evaluar calidad agua BMWP/Col y ABI, lo cual evaluaron cuatro microhábitats (piedra, grava, mus...

The impact of soil filtered runoff from a section of the M25 outer London motorway (constructed in 1981) on a pond, wetland and stream in a nature reserve was investigated by monitoring water, sediment. The tissues of the emergent plants Typha latifolia and Glyceria maxima collected from the pond were analysed for the heavy metals, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn. Macroinvertebrates were monitored in the str...

Highly humic lakes are typical for the boreal zone. These unique ecosystems characterised as relatively undisturbed habitats with brown water, high acidity, low nutrient content and lack of macrophytes. Current lake assessment methods not appropriate ecological highly because their properties differing human pressures acting on these ecosystems. This study proposes a new approach suitable statu...
