The evolution of thermal performance can constrain dispersal during range shifting [PDF]

, 2015
Organisms can cope with changing temperature under climate change by either adapting to the temperature at which they perform best and/or by dispersing to more benign locations.

Mother knows best: dominant females determine offspring dispersal in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Relatedness between group members is central to understanding the causes of animal dispersal. In many group-living mammals this can be complicated as extra-pair copulations result in offspring having varying levels of relatedness to the dominant animals,

Optimal Control for a Dispersing Biological Agent

Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 2014
A bioeconomic model is developed to analyze the optimal control management strategies for an introduced herbivore in a two-compartment ecosystem. This paper analyzes cost-effective control strategies that decrease the spillover effects of the herbivore on endangered plant species, thereby reducing extinction pressure and increasing benefits.

Continuum of global to local dispersal frameworks highlights the increasing threat of pine wilt disease in China

Global Ecology and Conservation
The global introduction of human-mediated trade and local dispersal through transport or natural pathways are major processes and contributors to biological invasion. To effectively prevent and manage biological invasion, global introduction pathways and

Simple individual-based models effectively represent Afrotropical forest bird movement in complex landscapes [PDF]

, 2014
Reliable estimates of dispersal rates between habitat patches (i.e. functional connectivity) are critical for predicting long-term effects of habitat fragmentation on population persistence.

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

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

High Emigration Propensity and Low Mortality on Transfer Drives Female-Biased Dispersal of Pyriglena leucoptera in Fragmented Landscapes.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Dispersal is a biological process performed in three stages: emigration, transfer and immigration. Intra-specific variation on dispersal behavior, such as sex-bias, is very common in nature, particularly in birds and mammals.
