Heavy metals structure benthic communities in Colorado mountain streams
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that pollution from heavy metals has a significant impact on macroinvertebrate spatial patterns, based on studies conducted at several river sites in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Mayfly populations were the most sensitive to heavy metals, with populations declining by more than 75% in areas of moderate contamination.
