A new method for modelling biological invasions from early spread data accounting for anthropogenic dispersal. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Biological invasions are one of the major causes of biodiversity loss worldwide. In spite of human aided (anthropogenic) dispersal being the key element in the spread of invasive species, no framework published so far accounts for its peculiar ...

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 ...

Global-scale episodes of transoceanic biological dispersal during the Cenozoic
, 2020 Since formalization of plate tectonic theory in the 1960s, vicariance has been the dominant model for interpretation in biogeography. However, modern research suggests transoceanic ‘rafting’ is also an important process in biological dispersal. Here we

Dispersal inference from population genetic variation using a convolutional neural network
bioRxiv, 2023 The geographic nature of biological dispersal shapes patterns of genetic variation over landscapes, making it possible to infer properties of dispersal from genetic variation data.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Invasive species control: incorporating demographic data and seed dispersal into a management model for Rhododendron ponticum [PDF]
, 2009 Rhododendron ponticum is a serious invasive alien plant in the British Isles and is of significant conservation and economic concern. Here, we integrate information on both the life-history and spatial dynamics of this species within an individual-based,

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.
