Abstract:A widely examined predictive model of invertebrate community dynamics in glacial‐melt streams describes longitudinal changes in community structure with changing water temperature and channel stability with increasing distance from glaciers. Previous studies conducted in Europe, Greenland, New Zealand, and South America have supported the predictions of the invertebrate model and contributed to its refinement. However, none has evaluated if the model fits invertebrate community dynamics over a full range of di… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
