The potential role of waterbirds in dispersing invertebrates and plants in arid Australia (2007, neutral): “Our results suggest that such local processes explain the marked dissimilarity of community composition among closely neighbouring Australian wetlands ( Brock et al., 2003 ).”
The effects of salinity on aquatic plant germination and zooplankton hatching from two wetland sediments (2003, background): “Hence, this seed bank provides not only refuges during dry periods but is also a means of conserving genetic, phenotypic, species and community diversity (Ellner & Hairston, 1994; Hairston, Kearns & Ellner, 1996; Leck & Brock, 2000; Brock et al., 2003).”
Response of aquatic plants to abiotic factors: a review (2011, background): “N] levels (Baldwin and Mitchell 2000; James et al. 2004), can alter significantly the recruitment of aquatic species after the dry period, potentially increasing plant recruitment and growth (Brock et al. 2003; Harwell and Havens 2003).”
Adaptation to natural flow regimes. (2004, background): “Some zooplankton and aquatic plant species also survive drought in temporary wetlands via persistent egg or seed banks, which might be considered a form of evolutionary bet hedging [ 31 ].”
When the river runs dry: human and ecological values of dry riverbeds (2012, background): “Aquatic plants can have desiccation-resistant fragments – for example, tubers or seeds that persist during the dry phase and then grow or germinate when rewetted (Brock et al. 2003).”
A comparative analysis of the adaptive developmental plasticity hypothesis in six Mediterranean anuran species along a pond permanency gradient (2006, background): “Ponds with different permanency periods exert selective pressures on organisms, which, in response, develop a range of adaptive strategies (Brock et al. 2003; Lake 2003; Johansson & Suhling 2004).”
Effects of increasing salinity on freshwater ecosystems in Australia (2003, background): “During these periods of low flow/high salinity, biota that could not readily disperse managed to survive either with little or no reproduction and recruitment (Mills and Geddes 1980; Williams and Williams 1991) or as dormant propagules (Williams 1985; Brock et al. 2003).”
