Funded Activity Summary

Open or closed? Dispersal and recruitment in populations of aquatic invertebrates with spatially distributed resources. The general aim of this research is to examine the contribution of fertilised eggs and recently hatched juveniles to the local population dynamics of some stream invertebrates. It seems likely that these stages act as population 'bottlenecks' , and our research will quantify the relations between these two stages and between neonates and mature larvae. Our research will also indicate whether these populations are likely to be closed (i.e., groups of individuals are relatively isolated) along channels or not. We believe our results will show much stream research focuses on the wrong life-stages; practices of river management may need re-assessment.
