The Recolonization Mechanisms of Stream Benthos
Abstract
The animals recolonizing an area of denuded stream substrate are thought to come from four main sources. These are drift, upstream migration within the water, migration from within the substrate, and aerial sources, e.g., oviposition. An experiment in a Canadian stream showed drift to be the most important source of recolonizing animals, contributing 41.4% of the total number that settled on an area of 1800 cm2. This compares with 28.2 % from aerial sources while upstream migration and movement up from within the substrate contributed about equally (18.2% and 19.1 %, respectively). Clearly then, all four directions are important in repopulating bare areas. Further, many groups of organisms were found to have preferred directions from which they recolonize and this, it is argued, may lead to the establishment of separate and distinct faunal assemblages if the other directions are excluded.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
