Movement Ecology, 2017 Background The combined influence of life-history strategy and resource dispersion on dispersal evolution of a biological community, and by extension, on community assemblage, has received sparse attention.

Biological Invasions, 2018 Dispersal abilities of invading species emerge from the interaction between the species and some features of the target community. Ligustrum lucidum is a tree species invading different ecosystems.

Human impact, climate and dispersal strategies determine plant invasion on islands
Journal of Biogeography, 2021 Biological invasions are likely determined by species dispersal strategies as well as environmental characteristics of a recipient region, especially climate and human impact.

Sex‐biased dispersal: a review of the theory [PDF]
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2018 Dispersal is ubiquitous throughout the tree of life: factors selecting for dispersal include kin competition, inbreeding avoidance and spatiotemporal variation in resources or habitat suitability.

Body size dependent dispersal influences stability in heterogeneous metacommunities
Scientific Reports, 2021 Body size affects key biological processes across the tree of life, with particular importance for food web dynamics and stability. Traits influencing movement capabilities depend strongly on body size, yet the effects of allometrically-structured ...

DISPERSE, a trait database to assess the dispersal potential of European aquatic macroinvertebrates
Scientific Data, 2020 Dispersal is an essential process in population and community dynamics, but is difficult to measure in the field. In freshwater ecosystems, information on biological traits related to organisms’ morphology, life history and behaviour provides useful ...

On fibre dispersion modelling of soft biological tissues: a review [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019 Collagen fibres within fibrous soft biological tissues such as artery walls, cartilage, myocardiums, corneas and heart valves are responsible for their anisotropic mechanical behaviour. It has recently been recognized that the dispersed orientation of these fibres has a significant effect on the mechanical response of the tissues.

The role of individual variation in marine larval dispersal
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014 The exchange of individuals among patchy habitats plays a central role in spatial ecology and metapopulation dynamics. Dispersal (e.g. short vs. long) is frequently observed to vary non-randomly within populations, indicating that variability among ...

Insects, 2020 Dispersal represents a key life-history trait with several implications for the fitness of organisms, population dynamics and resilience, local adaptation, meta-population dynamics, range shifting, and biological invasions.

The role of soils on pollination and seed dispersal
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2021 Ongoing environmental changes are affecting physical, chemical and biological soil components. Evidence of impacts of soil changes on pollinators' and seed dispersers' behaviour, fitness and density is scarce, but growing.
