Dispersal polymorphism and the speed of biological invasions.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The speed at which biological range expansions occur has important consequences for the conservation management of species experiencing climate change and for invasion by exotic organisms.

Dispersion-cancelled biological imaging with quantum-inspired interferometry [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2013 Quantum information science promises transformative impact over a range of key technologies in computing, communication, and sensing. A prominent example uses entangled photons to overcome the resolution-degrading effects of dispersion in the medical-imaging technology, optical coherence tomography.

Woodpeckers can act as dispersal vectors for fungi, plants, and microorganisms
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Bird‐mediated dispersal is presumed to be important in the dissemination of many different types of organisms, but concrete evidence remains scarce. This is especially true for biota producing microscopic propagules.

Life, 2022 In silico study of biologically invading organisms provide a means to evaluate the complex and potentially cryptic factors that can influence invasion success in scenarios where empirical studies would be difficult, if not impossible, to conduct.

Two‐scale dispersal estimation for biological invasions via synthetic likelihood [PDF]
Ecography, 2017 Biological invasions reshape environments and affect the ecological and economic welfare of states and communities. Such invasions advance on multiple spatial scales, complicating their control. When modeling stochastic dispersal processes, intractable likelihoods and autocorrelated data complicate parameter estimation.

PLoS ONE, 2022 Species distributions are affected by landscape structure at different spatial scales. Here we study how the interplay between dispersal at different spatial scales and landscape connectivity and composition affect local species dynamics.

A method to quantify jump dispersal of invasive species from occurrence data: the case of the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula [PDF]
NeoBiotaThe accuracy of predicting the spread of biological invasions is improved if models explicitly incorporate the two main dispersal mechanisms: diffusive spread and jump dispersal.

Endangered Plants in Novel Urban Ecosystems Are Filtered by Strategy Type and Dispersal Syndrome, Not by Spatial Dependence on Natural Remnants [PDF]
, 2020 Understanding the contribution of cities to nature conservation is gaining increasing importance with a globally accelerating urbanization and requires insights into the mechanisms that underlie urban distribution patterns. While a considerable number of

Aerobiology over Antarctica – a new initiative for atmospheric ecology [PDF]
, 2016 The role of aerial dispersal in shaping patterns of biodiversity remains poorly understood, mainly due to a lack of coordinated efforts in gathering data at appropriate temporal and spatial scales.
