Abstract

The qualitative composition and quantitative characteristics of the syrton allochthonous fraction in one of the rivers of the Russian Far East are examined. It is assumed that the daily dynamics of terrestrial invertebrate drift is determined by the specificity of their daily migrations on land. A counterargument to the theory of the zoobenthos nighttime drift strategy as a way to avoid drift-feeding predators is suggested.
