Figure 6. Mean values and standard deviation<br />

of the number of taxa, IBMWP and IASPT<br />

related with the fraction of the sample checked<br />

by all the sampling groups.<br />

In Figure 7 differences between both habitats are shown. As in the other cases, it can be<br />

observed an asymptotic increasing of the number of taxa for each fraction of counted<br />

individuals and for both habitats. The analysis of variance performed to compare both habitats<br />

indicated significant differences between pools and riffles (p
