The accuracy of gene flow estimates is unknown in most natural populations because direct
estimates of dispersal are often not possible. These estimates can be highly imprecise or …

Many aquatic organisms rely on passive transport of resting stages for their dispersal. In this
review, we provide evidence pointing to the high dispersal capacity of both animals …

Many representatives of freshwater zooplankton produce at some stage in their life cycle
resting stages. A variable portion of the eggs of the previous growing period will hatch at the …

Local communities can be structured by both local interactions (competition, predation,
environmental variables, etc.) and by regional interactions (dispersal of individuals between …

Despite the importance of dispersal to ecology, accurate estimates of dispersal rates are
often difficult to obtain, especially for organisms that rely on passive dispersal of propagules …

At some stage in their life cycle, most zooplankton in temporary waters produce dormant
eggs that assemble in a persistent egg bank to cope with unfavourable conditions. As part of …

The absence of fairy shrimp (Anostraca) from permanent ponds and lakes is hypothesized to
be the result of vertebrate predation. However, hatching cues for anostracan diapausing …

Anostracan crustacean eggs were collected from various materials leaving and entering
branchiopod habitats. The eggs were cultured from allochthonous dust and mud, bird faeces …

Les mares temporaires représentent sans doute un des milieux les plus remarquables mais
aussi les plus menacés du monde méditerranéen. Elles constituent, en effet, un ensemble …

Background Mediterranean temporary water bodies are important reservoirs of biodiversity
and host a unique assemblage of diapausing aquatic invertebrates. These environments are …
