Aquatic biota in hot water: thermal gradients in rheocrene hot spring discharges as analogues for the effects of climate warming

Hot springs are characterised by water temperatures above 36.7 °C. Temperature decreases with distance in flow away from spring vents; this natural gradient provides a unique opportunity to investigate the influence of water temperature on aquatic biota. This study investigated the relationship betw...
