The Monopolization Hypothesis and the dispersal–gene flow paradox in aquatic organisms

L De Meester, A Gómez, B Okamura, K Schwenk - Acta oecologica, 2002 - Elsevier
Many aquatic organisms rely on passive transport of resting stages for their dispersal. In this
review, we provide evidence pointing to the high dispersal capacity of both animals …

Why are most aquatic plants widely distributed? Dispersal, clonal growth and small-scale heterogeneity in a stressful environment

L Santamaría - Acta oecologica, 2002 - Elsevier
Non-marine aquatic vascular plants generally show broad distributional ranges. Climatic
factors seem to have limited effects on their distributions, besides the determination of major …

Recent advances in the study of long‐distance dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via birds

AJ Green, J Figuerola - Diversity and Distributions, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Although Darwin pioneered the study of long‐distance dispersal (LDD) of aquatic
invertebrates via waterbirds, it remains in its infancy as a modern discipline. A handful of …

Dormancy in freshwater zooplankton: induction, termination and the importance of benthic-pelagic coupling

M Gyllström, LA Hansson - Aquatic Sciences, 2004 - Springer
For a short-lived organism, such as a freshwater zooplankter, the ways of co** with years
of local recruitment failure are either to disperse between habitats and recolonise or to …

Biotic wetland connectivity—supporting a new approach for wetland policy

JM Amezaga, L Santamaría, AJ Green - Acta oecologica, 2002 - Elsevier
Wetlands are key habitats connected physically and socially with processes occurring over a
much wider territory. The biotic connection through dispersal mechanisms among wetlands …

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 …

Restoring macrophyte diversity in shallow temperate lakes: biotic versus abiotic constraints

ES Bakker, JM Sarneel, RD Gulati, Z Liu, E van Donk - Hydrobiologia, 2013 - Springer

water transparency, the establishment or expansion of macrophytes does not immediately …

Temporal and spatial distribution of microcrustacean zooplankton in relation to turbidity and other environmental factors in a large tropical lake (L. Tana, Ethiopia)

E Dejen, J Vijverberg, LAJ Nagelkerke, FA Sibbing - Hydrobiologia, 2004 - Springer
The spatial and seasonal distribution of microcrustacean zooplankton of Lake Tana
(Ethiopia) was monthly studied for 2 years. Concurrently, various environmental parameters …
