“…Almost 50% of the taxa found in the drift have already been reported in previous studies (e.g. Boumaud & Thibault, 1973;Adamus & Gaufin, 1976;Statzner, Dejoux & Elouard. 1984;Grzybkowska, Pakuiska & Jakubowski, 1987) and twenty-five taxa were recorded in the drift for the first time (see Table 2).…”

SUMMARY 1. A new method is described for sampling the drift in large rivers continuously and automatically, using equipment based on the marine, continuous plankton sampler of Hardy (1936). 2. Between April and November 1989, about 790 h were sampled continuously, equivalent to a water volume of 2937m3 and the total catch was 527 drifting macroinvertebrates, in forty‐nine taxa. Twenty‐five of these taxa are recorded in the drift for the first time and twenty‐eight of the drifting taxa were present in benthos samples from the Danube. 3. Total drift density varied between 12 and 31 animals per 100m3 of water sampled throughout the year, with a maximum of 31 animals in May, The composition of major faunal groups showed a significant seasonal pattern, with Oligochaeta and Diptera predominant in spring, Crustacea and Insecta in summer and only Crustacea in autumn. The overall density of the macrozoobenthos from October 1986 to December 1987 was about 19360 animals m−2 and the proportion of total benthos animals, drifting at any instant in time, ranged from 0.0026 to 0.0064%. 4. The relationship between drift density day−1 and mean daily discharge was described by a power‐function. Total mean drift rate of macroinvertebrates in the Danube was estimated to be 13 600 000 animals per 24 h and the mean drift distance was estimated to vary between about 4 and 31 m, dependent on the animal group and the water velocity. 5. No obvious consistent diel pattern could be established from the continuous samples, and no marked diel rhythm could be detected for Oligochaeta, Diptera larvae and Crustacea.

“…Other animals (EphemereZZa, Ecdyonv~B, ParaZept ophZebia) are intermediate both in BI and in their reported tendency to drift, whereas PIe coptera, Simuliidae, Chironomidae and Elmidae have conspicuously lower indices and, with the exception of the elmids. are less likely to show diel periodicities (Adamus and Gaufin 1976). Thus, species most prone to drift consistently may also be those best able to remove themselves from the drift.…”

Experiments with mayfly larvae in a laboratory stream revealed significant differences among settling capabilities of four species. Quantitative measures of overall settling capacity, contribution of morphology and that of behaviour were derived for comparative purposes. Importance of behaviour to re-establishment was greater in species which frequently show die1 drift periodicities than those which do not. Although morphological differences between species were large, mean size of nymphs was more important in determining rates of return of dead animals. Intraspecific variations in the ability of drifting individuals to become re-estab1ished may partially account for changes in the relative distribution of populations over time.
