Dispersal and Repulsion of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to Prenol [PDF]
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.

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2020 The formation of microbial biofilms enables single planktonic cells to assume a multicellular mode of growth. During dispersion, the final step of the biofilm life cycle, single cells egress from the biofilm to resume a planktonic lifestyle. As the planktonic state is considered to be more vulnerable to antimicrobial agents and immune responses ...

Are plant species able to keep pace with the rapidly changing climate? [PDF]
, 2013 Future climate change is predicted to advance faster than the postglacial warming. Migration may therefore become a key driver for future development of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Dispersion measures and dispersive orderings [PDF]
Statistics & Probability Letters, 2003 In this paper, the comparison of random variables according to the functionals of a general class of dispersion measures is characterized in terms of the dilation order. The Gini's mean difference is a particular member of this general class. In addition, a new and weaker order, called the second-order absolute Lorenz ordering, is introduced, and we ...

Rethinking Biological Invasions as a Metacommunity Problem
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Perhaps more than any other ecological discipline, invasion biology has married the practices of basic science and the application of that science. The conceptual frameworks of population regulation, metapopulations, supply-side ecology, and community ...

Consistent Behavioral Syndrome Across Seasons in an Invasive Freshwater Fish
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Understanding the linkage between behavioral types and dispersal tendency has become a pressing issue in light of global change and biological invasions.

Dispersal-mediated trophic interactions can generate apparent patterns of dispersal limitation in aquatic metacommunities [PDF]
, 2012 Dispersal is a major organising force in metacommunities, which may facilitate compositional responses of local communities to environmental change and affect ecosystem function.

Differential Efficacy of Glycoside Hydrolases to Disperse Biofilms
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Chronic wounds will impact 2% of the United States population at some point in their life. These wounds are often associated with a reoccurring, chronic infection caused by a community of microorganisms encased in an extracellular polymeric substance ...
