Dispersal of larval and juvenile seabream: Implications for Mediterranean marine protected areas [PDF]

, 2015
In the marine context, information about dispersal is essential for the design of networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). Generally, most of the dispersal of demersal fishes is thought to be driven by the transport of eggs and larvae in currents, with

Larval Behavior and Longevity in the Cold-Water Coral Lophelia pertusa Indicate Potential for Long Distance Dispersal

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
The life cycle of many marine benthic species includes a pelagic larval stage that governs the connectivity between populations. Larval transport is a function of hydrodynamic and biological processes. Knowledge of how larval traits affect dispersal will

Changing Microarthropod Communities in Front of a Receding Glacier in the High Arctic

Insects, 2020
This study was carried out at Ny-Ålesund on Spitsbergen in Svalbard (High Arctic). Eight study sites were established along a transect from the fjord to the snout of the glacier. The sites differed from each other by the type of vegetation cover and soil

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication

, 2020
It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Finding a Home: Stopping Theory and Its Application to Home Range Establishment in a Novel Environment

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
Familiarity with the landscape increases foraging efficiency and safety. Thus, when animals are confronted with a novel environment, either by natural dispersal or translocation, establishing a home range becomes a priority.

Development of morphology and swimming in larvae of a coral-reef fish, the royal gramma, Gramma loreto (Grammatidae: Teleostei)

Scientia Marina, 2012
We used reared larvae of Gramma loreto sized 5.5 to 10.5 mm to study ontogeny of morphology and swim- ming. The larvae are slender to moderate in depth, with laterally compressed bodies, about 28 myomeres, a coiled gut that is not compact, extending to

Conservation Actions in Multi-Species Systems: Species Interactions and Dispersal Costs

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
We use the General Equilibrium Ecosystem Model (GEEM) parameterized to Wyoming sagebrush to explore the impact of two common simplifications in bio-economic policy frameworks on species conservation decisions.

Mathematical Modelling of Mosquito Dispersal in a Heterogeneous Environment. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sites, affects mosquito dispersal behaviour and ...

The importance of including habitat-specific behaviour in models of butterfly movement [PDF]

, 2020
Dispersal is a key process affecting population persistence and major factors affecting dispersal rates are the amounts, connectedness and properties of habitats in landscapes.

Attachment sites of generalist ticks on birds depend on environmental factors (habitat and season) rather than on tick species

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
The aim of this investigation was to analyze predilection sites of ticks on avian hosts according to tick species and developmental stages, as well as individual and ecological characters of bird species (i.e., their age, habitat type, seasonality).
