Impacts of thermal mismatches on invertebrate fitness across life-stages
This project is funded by grants from NERC (CASE), The Royal Society (UK) and UNM. It focusses on how dams impact river thermal regimes and how such thermal modification affects insect populations. It is the first project of its type to link across life stages and use genetic and population modelling approaches to understand how the thermal regimes experienced by larvae influence their fitness (fecundity and dispersal ability) once they become adults. In collaboration with Lesley Lancaster, Zoology, Aberdeen. The project involves parallel studies in Malaysia and UK.
