DISPERSE – A trait database to assess the dispersal potential of aquatic macroinvertebrates

Abstract: BIOSKETCH 39 Many of the authors are members of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology 40 (COST) Action CA15113 Science and Management of Intermittent Rivers and Ephemeral 41 Streams (SMIRES, www.smires.eu), which aims to improve our understanding of intermittent 42 rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) and translate this into science-based, sustainable 43 management of river networks. One of the main goals of SMIRES is to facilitate sharing of 44 data and experience, bringing together researchers… Show more

“…We used nine traits relating to life cycles, morphology, physiology and behaviour (Table 1) to determine taxon‐specific resistance and/or resilience to drying conditions, sourced from Tachet et al (2010) and Sarremejane et al (2020a). A fuzzy‐coding approach was used to assign traits to taxa at genus level, with affinities for each trait modality standardized as percentage affinities within a trait.…”

“…We classified macroinvertebrate families according to their ability to fly and to drift using information from a set of biological traits and expert opinion as described in the DISPERSE database (Sarremejane et al, 2020). For the ability to fly, we considered traits that indicate dispersal mode (passive/active in the aquatic and the aerial environment; Tachet et al, 2010), but also other related traits from the larvae and adult stages (e.g.…”

“…Female wing length included eight categories from <5 to >50 mm, whereas adult life span included four categories from <1 week to >1 year (Sarremejane et al, 2020). For the ability to drift, we considered propensity to drift from Rader (1997), which included three categories from rare to frequent intentional drift.…”

“…These traits are useful surrogates of organismal dispersal capacity and included adult life span, voltinism (number of generations per year), body size, directional flight capacity and drift propensity (Sarremejane et al, 2020). We classified each taxon as very short (<1 week), short (<1 month) or long (>1 month) adult life span as described in Poff et al (2006).…”
