Journal ArticleDOI

phylosignal: an R package to measure, test, and explore the phylogenetic signal.

TL;DR: A new R package, phylosignal, is presented which provides a collection of tools to explore the phylogenetic signal for continuous biological traits and analyzes the phylogenetics signal in pollution sensitivity for 17 species of diatoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The future of biotic indices in the ecogenomic era: Integrating (e)DNA metabarcoding in biological assessment of aquatic ecosystems

TL;DR: The main advantages and pitfalls of metabarcoding approaches to assess parameters such as richness, abundance, taxonomic composition and species ecological values, to be used for calculation of biotic indices are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Life-forms, cell-sizes and ecological guilds of diatoms in European rivers

TL;DR: The objective of this paper is to make available to the scientific community an important check-list of taxa frequently observed in European rivers with their memberships to metrics, and clearly appears that metrics memberships are determined by taxonomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA barcode reference libraries for the monitoring of aquatic biota in Europe: Gap-analysis and recommendations for future work.

TL;DR: This work analysed gaps in the two most important reference databases, Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) and NCBI GenBank, with a focus on the taxa most frequently used in WFD and MSFD, and found that coverage varies strongly among taxonomic groups, and among geographic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using diatom life-forms and ecological guilds to assess organic pollution and trophic level in rivers: a case study of rivers in south-eastern France

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether the biological traits of diatoms in rivers (life-forms, size classes and ecological guilds) could be used to assess organic pollution and trophic level.
