متن کاملHabitat Constraints and the Generation of Diversity in Freshwater Macroinvertebrates
Freshwater aquatic invertebrates occupy a range of habitats, which can broadly be classifi ed into running or standing waters. The contrasting habitat permanence over geological timescales of these two habitat types imposes different constraints on their invertebrate populations. Species in more ephemeral lentic water bodies are forced to disperse when the habitat disappears, and are thus predi...
متن کاملEvolutionary refugia and ecological refuges: key concepts for conserving Australian arid zone freshwater biodiversity under climate change
Refugia have been suggested as priority sites for conservation under climate change because of their ability to facilitate survival of biota under adverse conditions. Here, we review the likely role of refugial habitats in conserving freshwater biota in arid Australian aquatic systems where the major long-term climatic influence has been aridification. We introduce a conceptual model that chara...

www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 327 29 JANUARY 2010 497 COVER Spore-bearing fungal parasites emerge from the digested corpses of three bdelloid rotifers. These freshwater invertebrates (length <0.5 millimeters) present an evolutionary puzzle because they have reproduced without sex for millions of years but have not been driven extinct by relentlessly coevolving parasites. Bdelloids can escape f...
متن کاملSeparation strategies for invertebrate dormant stages contained in sediment
Invertebrates and their dormant stages are an essential component of most freshwater and marine ecosystems (Cáceres 1997). As the active invertebrate community has a very variable distribution, both in time and space (Arnott et al. 1999, Folt & Burns 1999), reliable assessment of community diversity consequently requires repeated sampling across multiple locations for a prolonged period of time...
