• Disconnected pools act refuges during dry phases, serving as stepping stones and hosting colonisers that facilitate community recovery after the dry periods 🏞️🏞️

• Maintaining and promoting these habitats is essential to prevent biodiversity loss in temporary rivers facing more frequent drying 🏜️🏜️

📌📌 Key insights:

• Stable isotopes can effectively trace multi-taxa dispersal in natural settings 🧪🧪

• Isotopic enrichment successfully detected dispersal across generations 🐛🦋

🚨🚨 New paper from my PhD is out in Freshwater Biology!
We tracked macroinvertebrate dispersal using stable isotopes and mesocosms — showing how disconnected pools act as refuges and stepping stones for community recovery.
