MISSOULA, Montana, May 19 -- The University of Montana issued the following news release:
Glaciers are retreating in Glacier National Park and across the globe due to climate change. Researchers have long predicted that the shrinkage and disappearance of glaciers will reduce biodiversity in mountain ecosystems as species that live in habitats influenced by glacier meltwater are lost.
However, a new study shows that a specialized community of cold-water invertebrates une . . .
