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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Asymptotic limits of the principal spectrum point of a nonlocal dispersal cooperative system and application to a two-stage structured population model [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This work examines the limits of the principal spectrum point, $\lambda_p$, of a nonlocal dispersal cooperative system with respect to the dispersal rates. In particular, we provide precise information on the sign of $\lambda_p$ as one of the dispersal rates is : (i) small while the other dispersal rate is arbitrary, and (ii) large while the other is ...

PLoS ONE, 2014 Studying the larval dispersal of bottom-dwelling species is necessary to understand their population dynamics and optimize their management. The black-lip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) is cultured extensively to produce black pearls, especially ...

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,

Dispersal and Repulsion of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to Prenol
Biology, 2019 Chemosensory cues are crucial for entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)—a guild of insect-killing parasitic nematodes that are used as biological control agents against a variety of agricultural pests.

Controlling effective dispersion within a channel with flow and active walls [PDF]
, 2019 Channels are fundamental building blocks from biophysics to soft robotics, often used to transport or separate solutes. As solute particles inevitably transverse between streamlines along the channel by molecular diffusion, the effective diffusion of the solute along the channel is enhanced - an effect known as Taylor dispersion.
