Environmental gradients mediate dispersal evolution during biological invasions

Ecology Letters, 2023
AbstractRapid dispersal evolution at the edge of a range expansion can accelerate invasions. However, expanding populations will often encounter environmental gradients that entail a fitness cost of dispersal. We used an eco-evolutionary model to explore how environmental heterogeneity influences adaptation and dispersal evolution during range ...

Biological response to dissolved versus dispersed oil

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
The water-soluble compounds of oil (e.g. low molecular weight PAHs) dissolve as a function of their physicochemical properties and environmental conditions, while the non-soluble compounds exist as dispersed droplets. Both the chemical and physical form of oil will affect the biological response.

Models of dispersal in biological systems

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 1988
In order to provide a general framework within which the dispersal of cells or organisms can be studied, we introduce two stochastic processes that model the major modes of dispersal that are observed in nature. In the first type of movement, which we call the position jump or kangaroo process, the process comprises a sequence of alternating pauses and

Dispersion of nanoparticles in media of biological interest

MRS Proceedings, 2011
ABSTRACTNanoparticles (NP) are introduced in a growing number of commercial products, including food and beverage, daily use hygiene products such as toothpaste, or orally-administered drugs. To study the possible toxicity of these nanoparticles, a model system is the in vitro response of eukaryotic cells to the presence of NP.
