Most inland saline waters in southern Australia predominantly contain Na+ and Cl- as major ions. The proportions of Ca2+, Mg2+, SO4 (2-), HCO3 (-) and CO3 (2-) in these waters somewhat vary and might influence salinity ...

Increasing salinity has the potential to affect freshwater organisms. Yet sub-lethal effects of salinity on macro invertebrates are poorly understood. Growth and development of Ischnura heterosticta (Odonata: Coenagrionidae) ...

Salts of marine origin, predominantly consisting of Na+ and Cl- ions, are dominant in most Australian inland saline waters. The proportions of other ions, Ca2+, Mg2+, SO42-, HCO3- and CO32-, in the water may influence ...

The tolerance to high salinity of older life stage macroinvertebrates could underestimate the effects of increasing salinity on freshwater macroinvertebrates. The salinity tolerance of the eggs and/or hatchlings of Glyptophysa ...
