“…On the other hand, the use of information identifying zooplankton to the genus level rather than to the species level can be a viable alternative for all groups, irrespective of the seasonal period. This alternative was also suggested by others (Sanchez-Moyano et al 2006;Carneiro et al 2010;Carneiro et al 2013), as being an alternative that requires less training time of taxonomists. Finally, in contrast to other studies (Bessa et al 2011;Lopes et al 2011), the results of the numerical substitution also showed a high and significant values, suggesting that the use of information of the presence or absence of species, rather than the abundance of individuals, would save time, with the advantage of understanding the species richness analysis in the region.…”

“…Some possible alternatives have been proposed to minimize these problems, such as the use of substitute groups (Lopes et al 2011;Vieira et al 2014), species lists based on occurrence data as an alternative to abundance data of individuals (Carneiro et al 2010), and identification of organisms in less specific taxonomic scales (Carneiro et al 2013).…”

“…However, not only richness on a species level can be used to assess such ecological relationships (Gaston et al, 1993). The higher taxon approach was first used for terrestrial ecosystem (Balmford et al, 1996, and literature therein) and is now also transferred to aquatic ecosystems (Passy and Legendre, 2006;Heino and Soininen, 2007;Gallego et al, 2012;Carneiro et al, 2013;Mueller et al, 2013;Machado et al, 2015). Several studies dealing with the higher taxon approach in freshwater algae (e.g.…”

“…Deviations from the "classical seasonal pattern", in the North Sea of a spring bloom dominated by diatoms followed by a summer bloom of dinoflagellates (Alvarez-Fernandez et al, 2012;Carstensen et al, 2015), might then be indicative for potential boundaries between water masses exchanging SPM in the coastal zone. If indices based on phytoplankton species richness are used as a tracer we face a major problem, as species identification of all algae within a sample is often incomplete (Zingone et al, 2015), A solution is a reduction of the taxonomic resolution to family or genus level to make the dataset more homogeneous and more robust to variations in species' identification (Heino and Soininen, 2007;Ptacnik et al, 2008;Carneiro et al, 2013;Olli et al, 2013). This implies, however, that algae that were not indentified up to this level are subsequently excluded from further analyses.…”

“…Algumas possíveis alternativas têm sido propostas para minimizar esses problemas, tais como o uso de grupos substitutos (Lopes et al 2011;Vieira et al 2014), listas de espécies baseadas em dados de ocorrência como uma alternativa para dados de abundância de indivíduos (Carneiro et al 2010), e identificação de organismos em escalas taxonômicas menos específicas (Carneiro et al 2013). …”
