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.

Structural and evolutionary features of red algal UV sex chromosomes

Genome Biology
Background Sex chromosomes in red algae have remained relatively understudied, despite their fundamental role in understanding the evolution of sex determination across eukaryotes.

Phenotype–environment mismatch in metapopulations—Implications for the maintenance of maladaptation at the regional scale

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
Maladaptation is widespread in natural populations. However, maladaptation has most often been associated with absolute population decline in local habitats rather than on a spectrum of relative fitness variation that can assist natural populations in ...

When do beetles and bugs fly? A unified scheme for describing seasonal flight behaviour of highly dispersing primary aquatic insects [PDF]

, 2013
Many authors investigated the dispersal flight of aquatic insects, but the exact length of the seasonal flying periods and its main characteristics have not been determined.

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.

A framework for understanding how biodiversity patterns unfold across multiple spatial scales in urban ecosystems

Ecosphere, 2021
Whether cities are more or less diverse than surrounding environments, and the extent to which non‐native species in cities impact regional species pools, remain two fundamental yet unanswered questions in urban ecology.

No sex-biased dispersal in a primate with an uncommon social system-cooperative polyandry. [PDF]

, 2014
An influential hypothesis proposed by Greenwood (1980) suggests that different mating systems result in female and male-biased dispersal, respectively, in birds and mammals.

Community-driven dispersal in an individual-based predator-prey model [PDF]

, 2008
We present a spatial, individual-based predator-prey model in which dispersal is dependent on the local community. We determine species suitability to the biotic conditions of their local environment through a time and space varying fitness measure ...

Effects of natural and seminatural elements on the composition and dispersion of carabid beetles inhabiting an agroecosystem in Northern Italy

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
The natural and seminatural components of agricultural landscapes play a key role in maintaining a high level of biodiversity. Being the Po Valley one of the most human‐dominated and intensively cultivated landscapes in Europe, we investigated the effect
