Abstract:Although animal vectors facilitate algal dispersal, the speci c role of individual vectors in the temporal dynamics of algal community establishment remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of wind and animal vectors, speci cally amphibians and odonates, on temporal variation in algal composition and abundance. We conducted a 33-day eld experiment in 2018 with four treatments that included different propagule additives. We identi ed 74 algal species from 11 taxonomic groups, with Chlorophyce… Show more
