| Description | The aim of this study was to find out what abiotic environmental variables are related to the occurrence of benthic water bug Aphelocheirus aestivalis. Samples and abiotic environmental data sets obtained by extensive monitoring of Labe, Vltava and Danube river basin in the Czech Republic were sorted and analysed by Redundancy analysis (RDA). Results of RDA did not offer transparent response on our question. The reason is probably too rough scaling of environmental variables used commonly by hydrobiologist for monitoring of benthos in running waters. More detailed design of fieldwork is probably necessary for a better solution of question mentioned above. |
