RALEIGH, North Carolina, Oct. 6 (TNSres) -- North Carolina State University issued the following news release:
Increased salinity usually spells trouble for freshwater insects like mayflies. A new study from North Carolina State University finds that the lack of metabolic responses to salinity may explain why some freshwater insects often struggle in higher salinity, while other freshwater invertebrates (like mollusks and crustaceans) thrive. Salinity in this case refers to the conc . . .
