Fig. 3From: Close to reality? Micro-/mesocosm communities do not represent natural macroinvertebrate communitiesComparison of the average number of familiesMDD%low (green bars, above x-axis) and familiesMDD%high (red bars, below x-axis) per taxonomic group in the seven recent M/M studies. FamiliesMDD%low are defined by a mean MDD% < 70. FamiliesMDD%high are characterized by a mean MDD%  ≥70, which means that the data of these taxa only enable the statistical detection of treatment-related population effects between 70 and 100%. MDD% is the minimum detectable difference in %. Taxonomic groups listed in bold belong to insects and crustaceansBack to article page
