Evaluation of three methods for biomass estimation in small invertebrates, using three large disparate parasite species as model organisms.

Scientific reports - 1 Mar 2018

Llopis-Belenguer Cristina, Blasco-Costa Isabel, Balbuena Juan Antonio

Abstract excerpt

Invertebrate biomass is considered one of the main factors driving processes in ecosystems. It can be measured directly, primarily by weighing individuals, but more often indirect estimators are used. We developed two indirect and non-destructive approaches to estimate biomass of small invertebrates in a simple manner. The first one was based on clay modelling and the second one was based on image analysis...
