Sample interview questions: Have you ever conducted research on the impacts of climate change on the dispersal patterns of freshwater diatoms?
Sample answer:
-
Yes, I have conducted research on the impacts of climate change on the dispersal patterns of freshwater diatoms.
-
My research has focused on how changes in temperature, precipitation, and nutrient loading affect the dispersal of diatoms in lakes and rivers.
-
I have found that climate change can lead to changes in the abundance, distribution, and composition of diatom communities.
-
For example, I have found that increasing temperatures can lead to an increase in the abundance of some diatom species, while decreasing the abundance of others.
-
I have also found that changes in precipitation can lead to changes in the dispersal of diatoms, with some species being more likely to disperse during periods of high precipitation.
-
In addition, I have found that changes in nutrient loading can lead to changes in … Read full answer
