A review of approaches for classifying benthic habitats and evaluating habitat quality. (2004, background): “BI Biotic Index Estuarine/ coastal Spain Europe Macrobenthos Species Index for statistical analysis Borja et al. (2000) BII Bird Integrity Index Streams USA International Birds Species Indicate water quality change Bryce et al.”
Effects of sedimentation from water-based drill cuttings and natural sediment on benthic macrofaunal community structure and ecosystem processes (2010, background): “These two capitellid polychaete species are tolerant to excess organic enrichment, hypoxia and a high sedimentation load (Olsgard and Hasle, 1993; Diaz and Rosenberg, 1995; Holte and Gulliksen, 1998; Borja et al., 2000).”
Evaluation of indicators used to detect mussel farm influence on the benthos: Two case studies in the Magdalen Islands, Eastern Canada (2008, methodology): “(Borja et al., 2000).”
Integrating ecological, economic and social aspects to generate useful management information under the EU Directives' ‘ecosystem approach’ (2012, background): “Chainho et al. (2007) studied subtidal assemblages of the Mondego estuary focussing on the application of the Margalef, ShannoneWiener, AMBI and W-Statistic indices.”
Sensitivity of amphipods to sewage pollution (2012, background): “This inverse response of amphipods and opportunistic polychaetes has previously been employed to develop the Benthic Opportunistic Polychaetes Amphipods index (BOPA/BO2A), in order to infer environmental status from the assessment of the state of the benthic community in the implementation of the Eu”
Modeling bio-geomorphological influences for offshore sandwaves (2009, background): “The conservation and management of the benthic biodiversity in the coastal zone also requires knowledge about spatial and temporal distribution of macrobenthic species and thus the sediment dynamics (Borja et al., 2000).”
Benthic indicators to use in Ecological Quality classification of Mediterranean soft bottom marine ecosystems, including a new Biotic Index (2002, methodology): “Many authors have summarised the adaptive strategies towards pollution into three (GRAY, 1979) four (SALEN-PICARD, 1983) and five ecological groups according to their sensitivity to an increasing stress gradient (HILY, 1984; GLÉMAREC, 1986; MAJEED, 1987; GRALL & GLÉMAREC, 1977; BORJA et al., 2000). ”
Classifying Ecological Quality and Integrity of Estuaries (2011, background): “As an example, Quintino et al. (2006) analyzed data from the Portuguese coasts to produce univariate indices used for the WFD: abun dance, species richness, biomass, Margalef index, Pielou evenness index, Shannon–Wiener index, Simpson’s Index, AMBI and its reciprocal (1/AMBI), EQR (calculated accord”
The derivation, performance and role of univariate and multivariate indicators of benthic change : Case studies at differing spatial scales (2006, background): “These, in turn, have produced a large suite of numerical methods which describe environmental change and allow deviation from normal conditions to be quantified (e.g., Elliott, 1994; Borja et al., 2000; Rosenberg et al., 2004).”
The FOBIMO (FOraminiferal BIo-MOnitoring) initiative—Towards a standardised protocol for soft-bottom benthic foraminiferal monitoring studies (2012, background): “…has made large efforts to standardise their methods (Rumohr, 2004; ANSI, 2007; Rees et al., 2009), and especially, to develop biotic indices that give a quantitative appreciation of the state of marine environments (e.g., Grall and Glemarec, 1997; Borja et al., 2000; Rosenberg et al., 2004).”
Benchmarking DNA Metabarcoding for Biodiversity-Based Monitoring and Assessment (2016, methodology): “As a result, the macroinvertebrate community has been largely used to develop biotic indices (Diaz et al., 2004; Pinto et al., 2009; Borja et al., 2015), such as the AZTI’s Marine Biotic Index (AMBI; Borja et al., 2000), used worldwide to assess the marine benthic status (Borja et al., 2015).”
