This presentation, ‘Can Camouflage Keep up With Climate Change?

This time lapse video, composed of daily still photographs, shows a dry year in the life of The Nature Conservancy's Silver Creek Preserve near Picabo, Idaho. Climate variability and other factors raise concerns about elevated stream temperatures that stress fish and other aquatic life.
