patterns in streams and rivers. We propose a conceptual framework for investigating the …

This chapter aims to review the main causes leading to dispersal, with an emphasis on
proximate factors. I will consider causality in dispersal as any factor that explains variation …

1. Riverine systems consist of a mosaic of patches and habitats linked by diverse processes
and supporting highly complex communities. Invertebrates show a high taxonomic and …

L ong-distance dispersal is common among benthic invertebrates and has traditionally been
viewed as a passive phenomenon that is necessary to ensure that some individuals reach …

▪ Abstract Studies of the production of stream insects are now numerous, and general factors
controlling the secondary production of stream communities are becoming evident. In this …

Aquatic insects are the dominant invertebrate fauna in most freshwater ecosystems, and
figure prominently in the work of a diverse range of researchers, students, and …

To predict the behavior of solutes and suspended particles in wetlands, it is necessary to
estimate advection and longitudinal dispersion. To better understand these processes …

Invertebrate drift, the downstream transport of aquatic invertebrates, is a fundamental
ecological process in streams with important management implications for drift-feeding …
