Comparing modified biological monitoring working party score system and several biological indices based on macroinvertebrates for water-quality assessment (2005, methodology): “Indices developed for a particular geographical region, like the Belgian Biotic Index (BBI) (De Pauw & Vanhooren, 1983) or the Biological Monitoring Working Party (BMWP) score system for river pollution surveys in the UK (Armitage, Moss, Wright, & Furse (1983) have been successfully applied in…”
An Index of Biotic Integrity characterizing fish populations and the ecological quality of Flandrian water bodies (2000, background): “…1989 by the Flemish Environment Agency and is essentially based on chemical and physical measurements (1317 sampling spots in 1996) and on the Belgian Biotic Index (BBI, De Pauw & Vanhooren, 1983) which considers the occurrence of macroinvertebrates (1092 spots in 1996) (De Pauw et al., 1996).”
A new method for assessing the impact of hydromorphological degradation on the macroinvertebrate fauna of five German stream types (2004, background): “Stressor-specific indices and assessment systems have been generated for organic pollution (de Pauw & Vanhooren, 1983; amongst others AFNOR, 1985; AlbaTercedor & Sanchez-Ortega, 1988; DEV, 1992; Moog et al., 1999), acidification (Henrikson & Medin, 1986; Rutt et al., 1990; Braukmann, 2000) and the…”
Use of benthic macroinvertebrates to assess the biological status of Pampean streams in Argentina (2001, methodology): “Besides two other indices were applied: the IMRP (Macroinvertebrate Index from Pampean Rivers) (Rodrigues Capitulo, 1999) and a new biotic index: the IBPAMP (Biotic Index for PAMPean rivers and streams) which is based on the principles proposed by Tuffery & Vernaux (1967), De Pauw & Vanhooren (1983”
Distribution of rotifers in North Island, New Zealand, and their potential use as bioindicators of lake trophic state (2001, methodology): “Biotic score systems, based on community composition, have generally been preferred over indices based on either a single indicator taxon or diversity measures in freshwater biomonitoring (e.g. Armitage et al., 1983; De Pauw & Vanhooren, 1983; Stark, 1985).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “…species-level identification is optimal, if not necessary (e.g., Resh and Unzicker 1975; Hilsenhoff 1977; Saether 1980; Herricks and Cairns 1982; De Pauw and Vanhooren 1983; Slooff 1983; Furse et al. 1984; Rosenberg et al. 1986; Hilsenhoff 1988; Cranston 1990; Resh and McElravy 1993; Bauernfeind…”
