Abstract:The present study focused on using benthic macrofauna to assess the risks of moving away from Good Ecological Status towards the functioning of an anthropized system (Nokoué-Benin), based on de ning reference values for macroinvertebrate metrics, stress thresholds and the responses of selected metrics to stressors. The approach used is a combination of a joint species distribution model and Bayesian networks. We used JSDM to select relevant metrics and generate posterior probabilities. We then converted these … Show more
