- Title
Temperature induced changes in species distribution increases sensitivity of aquatic invertebrate communities to chemicals.

- Abstract
This article discusses the potential impact of climate warming on the sensitivity of aquatic invertebrate communities to chemical stressors. The study by Sinclair et al. (2024) examines the effects of climate-induced changes in species composition on the future sensitivity of these communities to chemical pollution. The researchers predict that shifts in species composition due to climate warming will increase the risk of chemical pollution, potentially doubling or quadrupling the impact on freshwater macroinvertebrate biodiversity by the end of the 21st century. The article highlights the need to consider the indirect interactions between climate warming and chemical toxicity, particularly the influence of temperature on species distribution and sensitivity.
