Table 1 Characteristics of the species used for the simulated scenarios, based on the DBI values of each group (distribution, conservation status, sensitivity to disturbances).

From: Sum or mean in calculation of qualitative scoring methods using the Dragonfly Biotic Index, and an alternative approach facilitating conservation prioritization
