Articles in this series will focus on topical research areas and linkages between basic and applied aspects of research, monitoring policy, and education. Readers with ideas for topics should contact Associate Editors, Nick Aumen and Marty Gurtz.Aquatic resource managers often group landscapes into regions defined by general similarities of environmental attributes, such as physical features, biota, and climate. These regionalizations may be defined prior to their incorporation and use in monitoring efforts or other resource management programs. Unfortunately, some regionalizations defined a priori are poorly related to patterns of specific biota. Newall and Wells have illustrated the potential benefits of an a posteriori approach to regionalization, using site-specific data already collected. They argue that this approach is preferable because it is based on data most commonly used by managers, that large indicator data sets may exist already, and that it can be used to set management objectives specifically designed for the range of conditions encountered within each separate region.Nick Aumen - [email protected]Marty Gurtz - [email protected]Co-editorsRead More
