Effects of drought and hurricane disturbances on headwater distributions of palaemonid river shrimp (Macrobrachiumspp.) in the Luquillo Mountains, Puerto Rico
2006
Journal of The North American Benthological Society
Extreme events (hurricanes, floods, and droughts) can influence upstream migration of macroinvertebrates and wash out benthic communities, thereby locally altering food webs and species interactions. We sampled palaemonid river shrimp (Macrobrachium spp.), dominant consumers in headwaters of the Luquillo Mountains of northeastern Puerto Rico, to determine their distributions along an elevational gradient (274-456 m asl) during a series of disturbances (Hurricane Hugo in 1989, a drought in 1994,
