Using oligochaeta assemblages as an indicator of environmental changes [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of BiologyWe designed a field survey (the entire river length; not dammed: First and Second plateaus; dammed: Third Plateau) to test the hypothesis that the cascade of reservoirs promoted a reduction in species richness and changed the composition of Oligochaeta ...
