“…Both indices responded to changes in community structure, associated with pollution reduction. However, the RICQI index was more sensitive in detecting gradients and changes in disturbance than the other index (see Díez et al, 2012).…”

“…The Rocky Intertidal Community Quality Index (RICQI; Díez et al, 2012) combined into a single value species abundance, morphologically complex algae cover, species richness and faunal cover (herbivore and suspensivore cover, proportion of fauna with respect to the whole assemblage). An independent dataset collected from the Basque coast (N. Spain), before and after the commissioning of a wastewater treatment plant, was used to validate the index.…”

“…They support high biological diversity and supply a wide variety of ecosystem goods and services including primary productivity, biofiltration, fish nursery grounds, shellfishTo date, few attempts have been made to develop a multimetric tool compliant with the WFD requirements based solely on rocky shore macroinvertebrate communities. For example, Díez et al (2012) argued that few invertebrate taxa would correlate with a disturbance gradient and, thus, a multimetric tool for rocky shores should be more reliable with attributes of both macroinvertebrates and algae being taken into account. In contrast, Vinagre et al (2016) showed that benthic macroinvertebrate communities responded similarly to benthic macroalgal communities along disturbance gradients (organic enrichment) with several opportunistic species being more abundant in sites near the source of disturbance and decreasing farther away from it, with the converse occurring for sensitive species.…”

“…Other WFD indices focus mainly on specific diversity, like the RSL (Reduced Species List) in the British Isles (Wells et al, 2007). Some integrate both faunistic and floristic metrics, like the subtidal seaweed indicator in France (Derrien-Courtel and Le Gal, 2011) and the RICQI index in Spain (Rocky Intertidal Communities Quality Index; Díez et al, 2012).…”
