Does the exclusion of meiofauna affect the estimation of biotic indices using stream invertebrates?

Mbaka, John Gichimu; M’Erimba, Charles M; Karanja, Henry T; Mathooko, Jude M; Mwaniki, Mercy W (Taylor & Francis, 2016)

Biomonitoring of rivers is usually undertaken using information based on macroinvertebrate assemblages. However, exclusion of meiofauna (i.e. invertebrates less than 0.5 mm in size) when sorting benthic invertebrates can ...
Effect of Sieve Mesh Size on the Estimation of Benthic Invertebrate Abundance and Composition in the Honi River, Kenya

Mbaka, John Gichimu; M'Erimba, Charles Mwithali; Thiongo, Henry Karanja; Mathooko, Jude Mutuku (Nature Kenya/East African Natural History Society, 2014)

Characterisation of benthic invertebrate communities, taxonomic abundance and composition provides information that is used during river bioassessment. However, the mesh size of the sieves used during processing of ...
