In a small pond in Ibaraki, Japan, we found a carp egg stuck to the forewings of a water scorpion (I Ranatra chinensis i), leading us to hypothesize that fish eggs may be passively dispersed between ponds by water scorpions, which are known to frequently fly from one pond to another during the day. Passive dispersal provides a possible mechanism for fish to colonize such habitats, especially since the small size of fish eggs enables terrestrial vectors to carry them. For example, Alfred Russel Wallace suggested over a century ago in I The geographical distribution of animals i that aquatic birds might occasionally distribute fish eggs among water bodies (1876; New York, NY: Harper and Brothers).[Extracted from the article]Copyright of Frontiers in Ecology & the Environment is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
