| Title | Using modeled stream temperatures to predict macro-spatial patterns of stream invertebrate biodiversity |
| Creator | Hill, R. A. Hawkins, Charles P. |
| Description | 1. Stream temperature is thought to be a primary determinant of the macro-spatial distribution of stream biota, but we lack temperature data for most streams. Past research often relied on surrogates, such as altitude, latitude, catchment area (ALCA) and air temperature to study biota–temperature relationships. However, temperature surrogates may not accurately represent the thermal environments experienced by the biota and could thus produce misleading inferences regarding such... |
