Fig. 1 Sketch map showing the sampling locations of benthic
macroinvertebrates in the four transboundary rivers of northwest China.
Solid black circles and solid black line represent the sampling sites of
benthic macroinvertebrates and the border among different countries,
respectively. The blue line in the middle of the map represents the
rivers and their main branches (a: Irtysh River, b: Emin River, c:
Bortala River and d: Ili River). Grey areas represent the lakes that
link these transboundary rivers.
