Likely responses to climate change of fish associations in the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin: concepts, methods and findings
How a water body’s temperature characteristics constrain organisms ecologically has been a continuing focus of interest in limnology and aquatic ecology for over a century now. A number of complementary scientific approaches are reviewed briefly. Progress in assessment of climate change is hampered...
