Darwin’s wind hypothesis: does it work for plant dispersal in fragmented habitats? [PDF]
, 2009 Using the wind-dispersed plant Mycelis muralis, we examined how landscape fragmentation affects variation in seed traits contributing to dispersal.

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.

Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]
, 2013 Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.

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 ...

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.

Spatial and temporal distribution of adult aquatic insects. [PDF]
, 2002 PhDMost quantitative ecological research on aquatic insects has addressed their immature stages. To understand their population dynamics, however, information on the adult stage is essential.

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 ...
