<div><font face="Geneva">"Despite the lack of evidence of mass
movement, our result suggested a few immigrants from the main stem
(i.e., juvenile white-spotted charr, sculpin and a few relatively
large Dolly Varden). Because more than 100 small tributaries exist in
the Shiisorapuchi River (Koizumi 2011), only a few individuals
escaping to each tributary should accumulate to a great number enough
to re-colonise main stem habitats even if fishes in the main stem were
extirpated. Multiple refuges at different spatial scales should
increase resistance and Ž or<x-tab>

et al. 1992). Thus, the roles of tributaries as refuges would deserve
further attention."</font></div>
