Experimental effects of sediment deposition on the structure and function of macroinvertebrate assemblages in temperate streams (2011, methodology): “05) by dividing them by the number of categories within each trait (e.g. if a given trait has five categories, for significance a1⁄4 0.01; Bêche et al., 2006).”
Comparing fish assemblages and trophic ecology of permanent and intermittent reaches in a Mediterranean stream (2010, background): “…that negatively affects survival and nextyear recruitment of taxa that have limited mobility, those whose aquatic stage is longer than 1 year, as well as those lacking desiccation-resistant stages (Boulton & Lake, 1992; Boulton, 2003; Acuña et al., 2005; Bêche et al., 2006; Bêche & Resh, 2007).”
Seasonal flow variation allows 'time-sharing' by disparate aquatic insect communities in montane desert streams (2007, background): “…have been observed in many temperate streams (Hawkins & Sedell, 1981; Cummins et al., 1989; Boulton & Lake, 1992b), although seasonal taxonomic changes are often of much greater magnitude than shifts in biological trait composition, including functional feeding groups (Bêche et al., 2006).”
Long-term macroinvertebrate responses to climate change: implications for biological assessment in mediterranean-climate streams (2010, methodology): “Perenniality and stream order also shape distinct benthic communities in the MCRs of Europe (e.g., Bonada et al. 2007, Anna et al. 2009, Feio et al. 2010) and California (e.g., Bonada et al. 2006, Bêche et al. 2006, Bêche and Resh 2007b, Mazor et al. 2009).”
Taxonomic sufficiency: The influence of taxonomic resolution on freshwater bioassessments using benthic macroinvertebrates (2008, background): “…responses better than taxonomic indices can (Dolédec et al. 2006); and (4) some ecological traits can be assigned to higher taxa so that taxonomic problems may be circumvented (e.g., Cranston 1990; Dolédec et al. 2000, Moulton et al. 2000; Beche et al. 2006; Poff et al. 2006; Vieira et al. 2006).”
Functional trait niches of North American lotic insects: traits-based ecological applications in light of phylogenetic relationships (2006, background): “…composition of populations or invertebrate communities in terms of environmental drivers (e.g., Scarsbrook and Townsend 1993, Resh et al. 1994, Statzner et al. 1997, Townsend et al. 1997a, b, Robinson and Minshall 1998, Chessman and Royal 2004, Finn and Poff 2005, Heino 2005, Bêche et al. 2006).”
Using macroinvertebrate biological traits for assessing biotic integrity of neotropical streams (2008, background): “Moreover, functional approach appears less sensitive to seasonal variability (Charvet et al., 1998; Bêche et al., 2006), sampling effort (Charvet et al.”
Rapid loss of glacial ice reveals stream community assembly processes (2012, result): “In contrast to Bêche et al. (2006) and Bêche & Resh (2007) who studied non-glacial rivers and found trait diversity to be relatively invariable despite changes in community composition over 6–19 years time scales, trait richness increased by 176% (from 21 to 58) between 1978 and 2000/01 in WPC as…”
Can biological traits of stream invertebrates help disentangle the effects of multiple stressors in an agricultural catchment (2014, background): “, 2011) than the effects of natural flow variations and droughts (Williams, 1996; Bêche et al., 2006; Bêche & Resh, 2007; Bonada, Rieradevall & Prat, 2007).”
