Spring forth diversity: Specialist species contribute to the conservation value of headwater springs and streams at the landscape scale (2024)
Journal Article
Kabir, J., Biondi, G., Gething, K. J., Aspin, T., Sykes, T., & Stubbington, R. (2024). Spring forth diversity: Specialist species contribute to the conservation value of headwater springs and streams at the landscape scale. River Research and Applications, 40(5), 863-874. https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4275

Headwater springs and streams often occur in relatively remote areas, reducing their exposure to human influences and thus increasing their collective capacity to support high biodiversity. Their aquatic macroinvertebrate communities can include spec...
