We investigated the cues underlying density-dependent dispersal in inter-connected microcosms of the freshwaterprotozoanParameciumcaudatum.Intwoexperiments,wemanipulated(i)thenumberofcellspermicrocosm and (ii) the origin of their culture medium (supernatant from high- or low-density populations). We found a negative relationship between population density and rates of dispersal, suggesting the use of physical cues.
