Dispersal distance and the pool of taxa, but not barriers, determine the colonisation of restored river reaches by benthic invertebrates (2014, background): “Adult insect flight dispersal can both follow stream corridors or across-land between stream sections (Macneale, Peckarsky & Likens, 2005), and, although mostly along stream corridors (Petersen et al., 2004), the importance of lateral movement across land is becoming more apparent (Didham et al.”
River network properties shape α‐diversity and community similarity patterns of aquatic insect communities across major drainage basins (2013, background): “The EPT species studied here disperse predominantly along the waterlines, and lateral dispersal of adults away from the river lines is limited (Petersen et al., 2004).”
Seasonal flow variation allows 'time-sharing' by disparate aquatic insect communities in montane desert streams (2007, background): “For some taxa, colonisation from neighbouring sites is unlikely considering the short distances (often < 50 m) most aquatic insects travel laterally from stream corridors (Petersen et al., 1999; Malmqvist, 2002; Petersen et al., 2004).”
Dispersal strength determines meta‐community structure in a dendritic riverine network (2015, background): “This contradicts the general rule of aquatic invertebrates using the stream network as the main ‘highway’ for dispersal (Petersen et al., 2004).”
Climate change and freshwater ecosystems: impacts across multiple levels of organization (2010, background): “Surprisingly little is known about the ability of aquatic organisms to colonize new areas, but it appears that only a few gravid females may be required to populate a water body (Hildrew et al. 2004; Petersen et al. 2004; Wilcock et al. 2007) and even large, physical barriers such as mountain ranges”
