Effects of major ions on natural benthic communities: an experimental assessment of the US Environmental Protection Agency aquatic life benchmark for conductivity (2016, methodology): “However, in field studies, aquatic insects, especially mayflies, are quite sensitive to major ions (Pond et al. 2008, Pond 2010, Cormier et al. 2013b).”
Salinisation of rivers: an urgent ecological issue. (2013, background): “Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera species richness (EPT) decreases over the entire salinity range (García-Criado et al., 1999; Kennedy et al., 2003; Hartman et al., 2005; Pond et al., 2008; Pond, 2010; Kefford et al., 2011).”
Can DNA barcodes of stream macroinvertebrates improve descriptions of community structure and water quality? (2011, background): “…loss of genera or families, genus/species identifications have added meaningfully to efforts to differentiate among sites relative to similar efforts based on coarser taxonomic resolution (e.g., Resh and Unzicker 1975, Lenat and Resh 2001, Waite et al. 2004, Arscott et al. 2006, Pond et al. 2008).”
