Climate change may lead to decreased flow in
Hawai’i’s freshwater streams
Increase in air temperature, amplified at high
elevations (Giambelluca 2008)
 Changes or shifts in annual precipitation
 Expansion of strawberry guava






USGS has shown a 10% decrease in stream flow over
the last 30 years (Oki 2003)

How might these changes impact stream biota?


How can we study this impact?





Unique and extreme
gradient in precipitation
Similar landscape and
land cover characteristics



Why focus on shrimp?




Keystone species

Does variation in annual precipitation alter
life history characteristics, abundance and
habitat selection?






Growth rate
Secondary production
Fecundity
Habitat selection
Abundance

1. Production and growth rate


Capture-mark-recapture

2. Fecundity


# gravid females and weight

3. Abundance/habitat selection



Random 1 m2 visual estimates
Stratified by habitat type

In streams with less precipitation (i.e. flow):





Growth rate
Secondary production
Gravid females
Individual fecundity

Pool occupancy
 Density

Immediate applications
 Better understanding of life history characteristics
 Insight into habitat selection of freshwater shrimp
throughout the tropics
 Define in-stream flow thresholds
 Web-based management tool



Future directions
 Use results and climate change projections to
predict distribution and abundance changes
 Explore relationships between abundance and
land cover
