Development of a typology based on faunal assemblages Sample Clauses

Development of a typology based on faunal assemblages. Since the sampled lakes were located in several biogeographical regions, the development of a typology based on dissimilarities in macrozoobenthos assemblages was necessary to account for natural differences in benthic macroinvertebrate community composition. A quantitative biocoenotic differentiation between countries/regions was achieved through an Analysis of Similarities (ANOSIM) in macroinvertebrate community compositions together with a Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) plot (Figure 1). Results showed marked differences among countries (and between the regions of northern and central Italy), indicated by high R values in the ANOSIM analysis (Table 1). The ANOSIM R values for the strength of community composition differences for the pairwise country/region comparisons among either Germany/Denmark, Ireland/United Kingdom, Sweden/Finland or central Italy/northern Italy were lower than 0.85. Samples from lakes in Denmark (2 lakes), United Kingdom (3 lakes) and Finland (4 lakes) could not be analysed specifically because of low observation numbers. Based on this typology, a stressor index and a multimetric index were developed for each of the four country (region) pairs Germany/Denmark, Ireland/United Kingdom, Sweden/Finland and central Italy/northern Italy. Figure 1: Multidimensional scaling (MDS) plot of the macroinvertebrate community composition in the studied lakes. The plot clearly mirrors the geographical distances among the regions and countries sampled (D = Germany, DK = Denmark, IRL = Ireland, GB = United Kingdom, S = Sweden, FIN = Finland, IC = central Italy, IN = northern Italy).
