ACCE+ DLA programme: Can evolutionary history predict which aquatic insects are most vulnerable to climate warming?

University of Liverpool

Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Freshwater environments are warming, but not all species are responding in the same way. Some aquatic insects tolerate temperatures far above those they normally experience, while others typically found in cooler streams may be particularly vulnerable. Read more
