abstract = "This study was carried out to identify relations between the macroinvertebrate communities and
River Basin Specific pollutants (RBS pollutants) in the Danube River. The investigation was
performed on 68 sites along 2,500km of the Danube. Forward Selection (FS) method, Canonical
Correspondence Analyses (CCA) and the Spearman correlation coefficient (SC) were used to
identify the relations between macroinvertebrate dataset and selected biological metrics and
RBS pollutants. Out of 20 analysed pollutants, seven (2,4-Dinitrophenol, Chloroxuron,
Bromacil, Dimefuron, Amoxicillin, Bentazon and Fluoranthene) were found to be significantly
correlated with macroinvertebrate communities. Bentazon, Dimefuron, 2,4-Dinitrophenol,
Fluoranthene and Chloroxuron showed negative correlation with total number of taxa and
abundance of Trichoptera, Diptera, Oligochaeta, Crustacea and Odonata, as well as abundance
of Gastropoda and total number of taxa. To find synergistic influence of RBS pollutants on
biota, BIO-ENV analysis was performed and reviled that 3 subsets of environmental variables
were highly correlated with biota resemblance matrix, covering combination of same
parameters singled out by FA.",
