How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds
G Incagnone, F Marrone, R Barone, L Robba… - Hydrobiologia, 2015 - Springer
Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth's surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms
inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented …

Human-mediated dispersal and the rewiring of spatial networks
Humans fundamentally affect dispersal, directly by transporting individuals and indirectly by
altering landscapes and natural vectors. This human-mediated dispersal (HMD) modifies …

Long-distance passive dispersal in microscopic aquatic animals
D Fontaneto - Movement ecology, 2019 - Springer
Given their dormancy capability (long-term resistant stages) and their ability to colonise and
reproduce, microscopic aquatic animals have been suggested having cosmopolitan …

Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl
Aim Patterns of high biodiversity among less mobile organisms throughout isolated locations
suggest that passive dispersal importantly contributes to biodiversity. We examined the …

Up, up and away: Bird‐mediated ectozoochorous dispersal between aquatic environments
Aquatic birds can facilitate the dispersal of plants, animals, microbes and fungi. Here, we

The underestimated dynamics and impacts of water-based recreational activities on freshwater ecosystems
Recreational activities on, in, and along freshwaters (eg, boating, bathing, angling) positively
contribute to human well-being but can also concurrently stress aquatic ecosystems. While …

The ability to get everywhere: dispersal modes of free-living, aquatic nematodes
C Ptatscheck, W Traunspurger - Hydrobiologia, 2020 - Springer
Nematodes colonize almost all aquatic habitats worldwide. Despite their small size,
restricted locomotion and lack of pelagic larvae, they can reach even isolated habitats within …

Passive external transport of freshwater invertebrates by elephant and other mud‐wallowing mammals in an African savannah habitat
B Vanschoenwinkel, A Waterkeyn… - Freshwater …, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Recent findings hint at the potential importance of mammals affecting the spatial dynamics of
aquatic organisms in areas where mammals live in close association with water. Perhaps …
