This project was based on the objective of attempting to find a change in biodiversity in our local Peconic River, and to detect any fluctuations in it from previous years. Our 17 out of 20 samples were processed and identified in the barcode system. We found a complete lack of diversity in the various damselfly species inhabiting the Peconic River. Additional studies will need to be completed to determine if there is an underlying environmental factor impacting damselflies. The effect of specific, multiple species being missing from the Peconic ecosystem has the potential to have a harmful effect on humans living in the community around it. For instance, damselflies eat “nuisance” insects that exist in the area. A decrease in the biodiversity of the species means that there is a high probability of disease transmission, unknown changes in the food chain, and a decrease in the quality of the river system.. Description. The Freshwater Biome accounts for one fifth of the area of the Earth and provides half of the drinking . water and one . third of the water used for . irrigation. The . biome consists of inland lakes, streams, brooks, creeks, and rivers--as well as ditches, sloughs, gutters, puddles and canals. Freshwater wetlands include marshes, ponds, and swamps.. Freshwater snails are crucial in assessing the ecological status of water bodies beside their economic public and veterinary health importance Hence ecological studies pertaining to their abundance di Objective. To explore the fate of the BG freshwater after it is released and to quantify its downstream impact on the subpolar North Atlantic salinity.. Findings.
