| Title | Natural flow regime, temperature and the composition and richness of invertebrate assemblages in streams of the western United States |
| Creator | Chinnayakanahalli, K. J. Hawkins, C. P. Tarboton, D. G. Hill, R. A. |
| Description | 1. We tested how strongly aquatic macroinvertebrate taxa richness and composition were associated with natural variation in both flow regime and stream temperatures across streams of the western United States. 2. We used long-term flow records from 543 minimally impacted gauged streams to quantify 12 streamflow variables thought to be ecologically important. A principal component analysis reduced the dimensionality of the data from 12 variables to seven principal component (PC) factors that... |
