FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF BENTHIC MACROINVERTEBRATE ASSEMBLAGES ACROSS A REGULATED RIVER–FLOODPLAIN SYSTEM: IMPLICATIONS FOR POLLUTION ASSESSMENT AND ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION
Benthic macroinvertebrates are important components of freshwater ecosystems and provide valuable information on ecological responses to environmental disturbance. The present study examined the functional and ecological organization of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages across the regulated Delhi stretch of the Yam...
