Groundwater-fed streams in alpine areas have been found to be more productive than other Alpine streams [68, 69], and are expected to be important refugia for overwintering aquatic fauna (Ward et al. 1999). Irons et al. [70] suggested that in order to survive the harsh northern winters, benthic macroinvertebrates move actively into unfrozen flowing waters. Conversely, organisms may actively move...
