The effect of automated taxa identification errors on biological indices

作者:

Highlights:

• We study the effects of classification errors from 11 different classifiers on 14 biological indices.

• We assess the reasons why certain indices are more sensitive to classification errors.

• We compare the classifiers based on their ultimate use in the biomonitoring of macroinvertebrates.
