Te ecological theory and an assessment of the relevant assumptions that underlie predic- tive landscape-scale species and habitat modeling. • Fischer JR, Neebling TE, Quist MC. 2012. Development and evaluation of a boat-mounted RFID antenna for monitoring freshwater mussels. Freshw Sci. 31(1):148– 153. Design, construction, and evaluation of a boat-mounted RFID antenna to detect individually PIT-tagged benthic aquatic organisms (mussels) and evaluation of the efects of tag orientation on detection distances in water with a 32-mm half-duplex PIT tag. • Fischer JR, Quist MC. 2014. Characterizing lentic freshwater fsh assemblages using multiple sampling methods. Environ Monit Assess. 186(7):4461–4474. Six lakes and impoundments (48–1,557 ha surface area) were sampled seasonally with seven gear types to evaluate the combined infuence of sampling methods and timing on the number of species and individuals sampled. • Machler E, Deiner K, Steinmann P, Altermatt F. 2014. Utility of environmental DNA for monitoring rare and indicator macroinvertebrate species. Freshw Sci. 33(4):1174–1183. eDNA techniques were used for a broad taxonomic array of macroinvertebrate spe- cies in river and lake systems in parallel to the conventional kicknet-sampling method commonly applied in aquatic habitats. Te eDNA method showed medium to very high consistency with the data from kicknet-sampling and was able to detect both indicator and nonnative macroinvertebrates.
