Euro-limpacs Deliverable 120 (Work Package 7): Indicator value database for Plecoptera

Following a wide ranging literature review, autecological information about the order Plecoptera were gathered by researchers from 5 different institutes. This information was merged and developed into a query database with an interface at the website www.freshwaterecology.info. Several parameters relating to autecological information are already available online. Discussions between the different researchers about the numerical indicator values for the species progressed parameter by parameter. A final version of all parameters on the web is expected by the end of 2006. As the ecological data collected for the database are not yet scientifically published, the Plecoptera database is currently restricted to registered users only.
