Diagnosing river health using invertebrate traits and DNA barcodes. This project aims to develop indices that link change in invertebrate communities to specific environmental stressors, and combine these indices with innovative, low cost molecular approaches to species identification to rapidly identify the causes of decline. River health assessment methods, usually based on aquatic invertebrates, identify if rivers are impaired but must be developed to identify the causes of decline. The intended outcomes are improved sustainable water resource management within and among states, and improved natural resource policy development.

利用无脊椎动物特征和DNA条形码诊断河流健康状况。该项目旨在开发将无脊椎动物群落变化与特定环境压力因素联系起来的指数，并将这些指数与创新的低成本分子方法相结合，以快速确定物种下降的原因。河流健康评估方法通常基于水生无脊椎动物，确定河流是否受到损害，但必须发展以确定下降的原因。预期的结果是改善国家内部和国家之间的可持续水资源管理，改善自然资源政策的制定。
