• Modeling natural environmental gradients improves the accuracy and precision of diatom-based indicators (2007, background): “Much less effort has been devoted to development of indicators based on algal assemblages (Hill et al. 2000, Fore and Grafe 2003, Wang et al. 2005).”
• Utility and limitations of species richness metrics for conservation planning (2006, background): “Examples include the Floristic Quality Index (Nichols, 1999; Rooney and Rogers, 2002), indices of biotic integrity (Karr, 1981; Fausch et al., 1984; Kerans and Karr, 1994; O’Connell et al., 1998; Hill et al., 2000; Smogor and Angermeier, 2001), and ratios of edge species to interior species.”
• Diatoms from the genus Achnanthidium in flowing waters of the Appalachian Mountains (North America): Ecology, distribution and taxonomic notes (2007, background): “It has been suggested that diatom-based water-quality assessment methods can be based on genus-level identifications because there is considerable similarity in ecological characteristics of species within a genus (Chessman, Growns, Currey, & Plunkett-Cole, 1999; Hill et al., 2000; Wu, 1999).”
• A Structured Approach for Developing Indices of Biotic Integrity: Three Examples from Streams and Rivers in the Western USA (2007, background): “1 [Article] metric indices for benthic macroinvertebrates (Kerans and Karr 1994; Klemm et al. 2003), periphyton (Hill et al. 2000, 2003; Fore 2003), and riparian birds (O’Connell et al. 2000; Bryce 2006).”
• Algae–P relationships, thresholds, and frequency distributions guide nutrient criterion development (2008, methodology): “Land use and land cover were characterized for topographically delineated watersheds with US Geological Survey landuse and land-cover digital maps and Thematic Mapper satellite imagery (Herlihy et al. 1998, Hill et al. 2000).”
• Stimulation of leaf litter decomposition and associated fungi and invertebrates by moderate eutrophication : implications for stream assessment (2006, background): “examples are biotic indices based on benthic macroinvertebrates or periphyton, especially diatoms (e.g. Metcalfe-Smith, 1994; Barbour et al., 1999; Hill et al., 2000).”
