Title Evaluation of δD and δ18O as Natural Markers of Invertebrate Source Environment and Dispersal in the Middle Mississippi River-Floodplain Ecosystem
Creator Myers, David J Whitledge, Gregory Whiles, Matt R
Description Movement of invertebrates among large rivers, tributaries, and floodplain lakes or dispersal of adult aquatic insects from riverine or floodplain habitats may provide important subsidies to food webs in receiving habitats. Intensive sampling at habitat interfaces and artificial labeling are two approaches to assess freshwater invertebrate dispersal, but these are difficult to implement at a landscape scale. Natural chemical tracers have been used to track dispersal of fishes and marine...
