Climate change is expected to modify rainfall, temperature and catchment hydrological
responses across the world, and adapting to these water-related changes is a pressing …

Ongoing increases in air temperature and changing precipitation patterns are altering water
temperatures and flow regimes in lotic freshwater systems, and these changes are expected …

Species' ecological preferences are progressively important for understanding distribution
patterns, for conserving biodiversity or for assessing and evaluating the status of freshwater …

Fish are an important source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid

Lakes have, rather grandly, been described as sentinels, integrators and regulators of
climate change (Williamson et al., Limnol. Oceanogr. 2009; 54: 2273–82). Lakes are also …
