Wind mediated dispersal of freshwater invertebrates: differences in dispersal capacities and modes. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Current evidence suggests regular overland transport of different freshwater invertebrates by wind, mainly over short distances. Yet, very little is known about the mechanism and scale of this process or about differences in wind dispersal dynamics and capacities among taxa and propagule types. We investigated wind dispersal of freshwater invertebrates in a cluster of temporary rock pools (spatial scale: 9,000 m2) in South Africa. Dispersing ...
