PAPER Recent range shifts of European dragonflies provide support for an inverse relationship between habitat predictability and dispersal (2013, background): “, 2007), mayflies and stoneflies (Malmquist, 2000) and butterflies (Pöyry et al.”
A trait-based approach to assess the vulnerability of European aquatic insects to climate change (2013, background): “For example, Malmqvist (2000) showed a positive correlation between wing length and range size, supporting the hypothesis that low dispersal taxa are restricted to small areas.”
Freshwater Invertebrate Life History Strategies for Surviving Desiccation (2015, background): “Wing length is important in flight dispersers; rare species frequently have relatively shorter wings, while common species have long wings and are therefore better dispersers [90].”
Dispersal ability rather than ecological tolerance drives differences in range size between lentic and lotic water beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae) (2012, background): “…Journal of Biogeography 39, 984–994 ª 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd examples of positive relationships between dispersal ability and range size in both terrestrial and aquatic systems across a wide range of taxa (e.g. Brown, 1984, 1995; Malmqvist, 2000; Lester et al., 2007; Rundle et al., 2007).”
