Neutrality, niches, and determinants of plankton metacommunity structure across boreal wetland ponds (2007, background): “For example, Paavola et al. (2003) found only weak concordance among stream classifications based on fish, macroinvertebrate, and bryophyte assemblages.”
Concordance among stream assemblages and spatial autocorrelation along a fragmented gradient (2007, background): “In stream ecology, diatoms, benthic macroinvertebrates, and stream fish are the most commonly surveyed groups (e.g. Hering et al., 2006), but studies assessing the ecological status of stream ecosystems are typically based on a single taxonomic group (Paavola et al., 2003).”
Are Water Beetles Good Indicators of Biodiversity in Mediterranean Aquatic Ecosystems? The Case of the Segura River Basin (SE Spain) (2006, background): “Nevertheless, in running waters, the congruence of species richness among bryophytes, macroinvertebrates and fish is generally low (Paavola et al. 2003; Heino et al. 2005).”
Beta diversity in stream macroinvertebrate assemblages: among-site and among-microhabitat components (2008, result): “Similar results were observed in other regions (Baptista et al., 2001; Paavola et al., 2003 ).”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “However, despite its importance, relatively few studies have examined congruence in the diversity patterns of aquatic organisms in general (Allen et al., 1999; Paavola et al., 2003; Heino et al., 2005) and aquatic insects in particular (Briers & Biggs, 2003; Heino et al.”
Benthic diatom communities in boreal streams: community structure in relation to environmental and spatial gradients (2004, background): “Yet, many recent studies have shown that community concordance, i.e. similarity in patterns of community structure among major organism groups, is often rather low in freshwater systems, especially at small (e.g. within-watershed) spatial scales (Allen et al. 1999a,b, Paavola et al. 2003).”
Biological assessments of Appalachian streams based on predictive models for fish, macroinvertebrate, and diatom assemblages (2008, result): “Our results are consistent with several studies that show that most taxonomic groups are not concordant in their response to either natural or stress gradients (Paavola et al. 2003, 2006, Passey et al. 2004, Griffith et al. 2005, Johnson et al. 2006).”
Detection of ecological change using multiple organism groups: metrics and uncertainty (2006, background): “…have compared the discriminatory power of different approaches to detect change (e.g., Fore et al., 1996; Reynoldson et al., 1997), and fewer still have compared the precision and sensitivity of different organism groups to detect ecological change (e.g., Hirst et al., 2002; Paavola et al., 2003).”
