Changing temperature regimes & invertebrates in snow-melt alpine streams.
I am completing a study into ecological responses of seasonal changes to water temperatures in selected alpine/snow-melt streams of the Upper Snowy River catchment in NSW Australia, which is known to be a highly temperature-sensitive aquatic ecosystem. This is thought to be critical with changes to climatic conditions.
Temperature is known to be a significant water quality parameter. The physical, chemical, and biological properties of water are all functions of temperature. It influences the metabolic rates, physiology, and life-history traits of aquatic species and helps to determine overall community structur...
