When is the best time to sample aquatic macroinvertebrates in ponds for biodiversity assessment? [PDF]
Environ Monit Assess, 2016 Ponds are sites of high biodiversity and conservation value, yet there is little or no statutory monitoring of them across most of Europe. There are clear and standardised protocols for sampling aquatic macroinvertebrate communities in ponds, but the ...
