The research in this thesis examines the links between benthic macroinverebrate (invertebrate) distributions and aspects of the physical habitat at different spatial and temporal scales in mountain and foothill zones of rivers in the Western Cape, South Africa. A geomorphological hierarchy was used as the spatial template for studying invertebrate distributions. The different levels of the hierarchy are: catchment, segment, zone, reach, morphological unit and hydraulic biotype. Hydraulic biotypes are visually defined flow and substratum combinations. The hierarchical levels studied in this thesis were catchment, zone, reach and hydraulic biotype. 2014-08-13T14:09:59Z 2014-08-13T14:09:59Z 2005 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/6183 eng application/pdf Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
