1. Dispersal of adult stream insects may be of considerable importance in regional population dynamics and colonisation of new sites, but quantifying the rate and extent of dispersal is difficult. 2. We used stable isotope (15N) enrichment to mark... Read More about Inter-population dispersal by adult stoneflies detected by stable isotope enrichment.
