Bioassessment of streams with macroinvertebrates: effect of sampled habitat and taxonomic resolution (2007, background): “This constraint is common in macroinvertebrate studies (e.g., Hewlett 2000, Waite et al. 2004).”
Effects of sampling error on bioassessments of stream ecosystems: application to RIVPACS-type models (2004, result): “These results support the work of others who found that MH samples give roughly the same biological assessment results as FA single-habitat samples (Plafkin et al. 1989, Parsons and Norris 1996, Hewlett 2000).”
Concordance among stream assemblages and spatial autocorrelation along a fragmented gradient (2007, background): “Moreover, previous studies have shown that when using abundance data, different levels of macro- invertebrate taxonomic resolution produced largely the same description of assemblage patterns (e.g. Bowman & Bailey, 1997; Hewlett, 2000).”
Rapid Bioassessment Protocols using benthic macroinvertebrates in Brazil: evaluation of taxonomic sufficiency (2010, background): “Several authors have suggested that family-level resolution could be used to distinguish between unimpaired, moderately impaired, and severely impaired systems (Plafkin et al. 1989, Hewlett 2000, Lenat and Resh 2001, Waite et al. 2004).”
Taxonomic Resolution and Quantification of Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Samples from an Australian Dryland River: The Benefits and Costs of Using Species Abundance Data (2006, background): “Other studies have also concluded that lotic macroinvertebrate species assemblages are well represented by family level assemblages (Furse et al., 1984; Marchant et al., 1995; Wright et al., 1995; Growns & Growns, 1997; Hewlett, 2000), although this is not universally the case (Marchant, 1990; Bowma”
The effect of taxonomic resolution on the assessment of ecological water quality classes (2004, background): “A number of studies hold the view that species level data tend to support the conclusions made based on family level, or that higher taxonomic levels are sensitive enough to detect environmental impacts (Marchant, 1990; Chessman, 1995; Graça et al., 1995; Marchant et al., 1995; Bournaud et al., 1996”
The effects of macroinvertebrate taxonomic resolution in large landscape bioassessments: an example from the Mid-Atlantic Highlands, U.S.A. (2004, background): “Hewlett (2000) assessing reference sites across a large geographic area of Southeastern”
Global diversity of caddisflies (Trichoptera: Insecta) in freshwater (2007, background): “Trichoptera, in conjunction with other aquatic insect orders, have also been used to assess aquatic biodiversity EPT (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) or ETS (Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Simuliidae: Diptera) and habitat diversity (Hannaford & Resh, 1995; Hewlett, 2000; de Moor, 2002b).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “Second, taxonomic knowledge gained while processing many benthos samples would probably lead to many genera and species being renamed, but would have less of an affect on the organization of higher taxa (Hewlett 2000).”
Evaluating Subsampling Approaches and Macroinvertebrate Taxonomic Resolution for Wetland Bioassessment (2002, background): “…as species data in detecting environmental impacts (Ferraro and Cole 1990, 1992, Wright et al. 1995, Marchant et al. 1997, Olsgard et al. 1998, Urkiaga-Alberdi et al. 1999, Bailey et al. 2001) and tend to be highly correlated to finer-resolution data (Bowman and Bailey 1997, Hewlett 2000).”
Discriminatory power of different arthropod data sets for the biological monitoring of anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests (2004, background): “Not surprisingly, analyses using higher taxa appear to be better suited to studies at broader geographic scales (Hewlett 2000).”
