The initial dispersal and spread of an intentional invader at three spatial scales. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The way an invasion progresses through space is a theme of interest common to invasion ecology and biological pest control. Models and mark-release studies of arthropods have been used extensively to extend and inform invasion processes of establishment ...

Alien insect dispersal mediated by the global movement of commodities

Ecological Applications, 2022
Globalization and economic growth are recognized as key drivers of biological invasions. Alien species have become a feature of almost every biological community worldwide, and rates of new introductions continue to rise as the movement of people and ...

Dispersal syndromes in challenging environments: A cross‐species experiment

Ecology Letters, 2022
Dispersal is a central biological process tightly integrated into life‐histories, morphology, physiology and behaviour. Such associations, or syndromes, are anticipated to impact the eco‐evolutionary dynamics of spatially structured populations, and ...

Biological advection and cross-diffusion with parameter regimes

AIMS Mathematics, 2019
Advection and cross-diffusion terms are obtained as dispersal strategies of biological species. The focus of the paper is their connection to a given population dynamics.

Patterns and determinants of dispersal in grey wolves (Canis lupus)

Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2021
Dispersal is a key demographic process involving three stages: emigration, transience and settlement; each of which is influenced by individual, social and environmental determinants.

Environmental heterogeneity blurs the signature of dispersal syndromes on spatial patterns of woody species in a moist tropical forest. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
We assessed the relative importance of dispersal limitation, environmental heterogeneity and their joint effects as determinants of the spatial patterns of 229 species in the moist tropical forest of Barro Colorado Island (Panama). We differentiated five

Rethinking Biological Invasions as a Metacommunity Problem

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Perhaps more than any other ecological discipline, invasion biology has married the practices of basic science and the application of that science. The conceptual frameworks of population regulation, metapopulations, supply-side ecology, and community ...

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.

Habitat suitability of neotenic net‐winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) in China using combined ecological models, with implications for biological conservation

Diversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2022
China has dozens of well‐recognized biodiversity hotspots, but many more potential areas have not been estimated thoroughly, which is unfavourable for biodiversity conservation.

Optimized dispersion of nanoparticles for biological in vitro and in vivo studies [PDF]

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2008
The aim of this study was to establish and validate a practical method to disperse nanoparticles in physiological solutions for biological in vitro and in vivo studies.TiO2 (rutile) dispersions were prepared in distilled water, PBS, or RPMI 1640 cell culture medium. Different ultrasound energies, various dispersion stabilizers (human, bovine, and mouse
