Genetic and Life-History Assessment of the influence of glaciers on Biodiversity in High-height Ecuadorian Streams.

The Primary Research Objective is To Assess Effects of the Unique Hydrologic and Thermal Environment Created by Glacial Meltwater on Life-History Diversity and Population-Genetic Patterns of Insects Dwelling in Ecuadorian High-Height Streams. The proposed research is Timely and Pressing Consido The Rapid Rate of swallowing in the Andes and the Likelihood that associated aquatic biodiversity is vulnerable to these changes. There is significant ongoing research activity worldwide on this problems, but little efort you have been veined in tropical glaciated regions. HELE, OUR Specific Research Objective to Empirically Assess The Drivers of Increase Biodiversity in High-Actitude Glacier-Influenced Streams Will Contribute Internationally Meaningful Results and Be Important Regionally For Ecuador, A Country APPRECIA. Biological Diversity.
