Exploring climate and anthropogenic impacts on marine ecosystems requires an
understanding of how trophic components interact. However, integrative end-to-end …

Formation of highly resistant dormant forms is a well-known feature that allows inhabitants of
unstable water bodies to survive periods of adverse conditions. The resistance of dormant …

Speculation about the role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic invertebrates pre-dates
Darwin. However, there is a critical shortage of field studies quantifying such dispersal. We …

The role of waterbirds as vectors of plants and invertebrates within and between arid‐zone
wetlands is poorly understood. We present the first detailed study of passive dispersal by …

Aim Predation is generally viewed as a factor that limits the distribution of animal prey
species. However, in certain instances, such as seed dispersal, predation may enhance the …

The magnitude of community-wide dispersal is central to metacommunity models, yet
dispersal is notoriously difficult to quantify in passive and cryptic dispersers such as many …

Thermal pollution leads to short-term heat shock in aquatic invertebrates; however, the
modulation of tolerance and life history of these invertebrates by thermal stress varies …

Whatever their size and the ecosystem they live in, all organisms may disperse at some
stage of their life cycle. Dispersal dynamics are to a varying extent dependent on organismal …

The effects of different feeding regimes on survival, growth and morphogenesis of the
digestive system in butter catfish, Ompok bimaculatus (Bloch) larvae were investigated in the …

Thermal tolerance is a critical factor influencing the survival of living organisms. This study
focuses on the thermal resistance of copepod species, Thermocyclops crassus (Fischer …
