Community-Level Response of Fishes and Aquatic Macroinvertebrates to Stream Restoration in a Third-Order Tributary of the Potomac River, USA

<table>Cacapon River, WVa, USA restoration, control, and reference sampling reach rank sum scores for macroinvertebrate modified index of biotic integrity (IBI) across all sampling seasons: before (two samples, 2009-2010), during (2010), and after (2010) restoration. Higher scores indicate healthier communities based on the metrics measured. Upstream control (impaired reach, but not receiving restoration) denoted “UC”, downstream control denoted “DC”, upstream reference (unimpaired, natural reach) denoted “UR”, and downstream reference denoted “DR”. The restoration reach is denoted as “Rest”.</table>
