Abstract
Random patch formation; whereby species form patches of aggregation independently of each other, has in effect contributed to spatial segregation of species in this community in a small river in E England. No significant differences were observed between species in their capacity to colonize new habitats. Time to reach 95% of the naturally occurring density was mostly in the range of 5.6-13.2 days. Random patch formation as well as the absence of strong interspecific competition facilitate the coexistence of species in this community.-from Authors
