Persistence of aquatic insects across managed landscapes: effects of landscape permeability on re-colonization and population recovery.

Human practices in managed landscapes may often adversely affect aquatic biota, such as aquatic insects. Dispersal is often the limiting factor for successful re-colonization and recovery of stressed habitats. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the effects of landscape permeability, assuming a c...
