Movements of a macroinvertebrate species across a gravel-bed substrate: effects of local hydraulics and micro-topography under increasing discharge

Flow refugia provide a mechanism that can explain the persistence of macroinvertebrate communities in flood-prone, gravel-bed rivers. The movement behaviour of macroinvertebrates is a key element of the flow refugia hypothesis but surprisingly little is known about it. In particular, little is known...
