The vulnerability of British aquatic insects to climate change
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2022 Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from climate change due to the intrinsic link between the physical properties of the water environment and those species that live there. Mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies are key indicators of the health
