Rapid Bioassessment Protocols using benthic macroinvertebrates in Brazil: evaluation of taxonomic sufficiency (2010, background): “…Trichoptera (EPT) family diversity and abundance indices strongly underestimated differences among acidic and reference streams compared with genus and species indices (Guerold 2000), and Guerold (2000) stated that the use of family-level identification would lead to erroneous interpretations.”
Bioassessment of streams with macroinvertebrates: effect of sampled habitat and taxonomic resolution (2007, background): “…is more capable of detecting impact, or enables greater resolution of different degrees of impact, than identification only to the family level (Hilsenhoff 1988, Edward et al. 2000, Guerold 2000, Hawkins et al. 2000, Stubauer and Moog 2000, Lenat and Resh 2001, Schmidt-Kloiber and Nijboer 2004).”
Discriminatory power of different arthropod data sets for the biological monitoring of anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests (2004, background): “Since water pollution is often transient and unpredictable, biological monitoring may be more appropriate than traditional chemical evaluation of water quality to assess contamination of aquatic ecosystems (Guérold 2000).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, methodology): “Notwithstanding Guerold’s (Guerold 2000) results — which showed that family-level bioassessments using EPT diversity and abundance underestimated effect sizes associated with a relatively strong acidification gradient (i.e., test-streams’ pH 4.7–6.0, reference-streams’ pH 6.7–7.0) — earlier studies ”
Downstream effects of mountaintop coal mining: comparing biological conditions using family- and genus-level macroinvertebrate bioassessment tools (2008, background): “…benefits of finer taxonomic resolution indicate more accurate assessments when genus- or species-level data are used rather than family-level data (Guerold 2000, Hawkins et al. 2000, Lenat and Resh 2001, Arscott et al. 2006), but family-level assessments are also useful (Bowman and Bailey 1998,…”
The effects of macroinvertebrate taxonomic resolution in large landscape bioassessments: an example from the Mid-Atlantic Highlands, U.S.A. (2004, background): “These conclusions are corroborated by Guerold (2000) who states that taxonomic level depends on the objectives: ‘if the purpose of a study is simply to detect an impact of a perturbation on macroinverte-”
Taxonomic Resolution and Quantification of Freshwater Macroinvertebrate Samples from an Australian Dryland River: The Benefits and Costs of Using Species Abundance Data (2006, background): “Guerold (2000) investigated this in streams (using samples of macroinvertebrates from the insect orders Plecoptera, Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera) and found, not surprisingly, that richness estimates at the genus and family levels were lower than those at species level.”
Invertebrate traits for the biomonitoring of large European rivers: an initial assessment of alternative metrics (2003, background): “…clearly influence the description of communities and our ability to detect human-induced impact (Resh & Unzicker, 1975; Resh & Jackson, 1993; Wright, Chessman & Fairweather, 1995; Karr, 1999; Thorne, Williams & Cao, 1999; Guerold, 2000; Hawkins & Norris, 2000; Bailey, Norris & Reynoldson, 2001).”
Biodiversity of Aquatic Insects: Spatial Gradients and Environmental Correlates of Assemblage-Level Measures at Large Scales (2009, unknown): “First, species richness has often been found to be correlated with genus and family richness (Guerold, 2000; Hill et al., 2001; Marshall et al., 2006).”
