Sensitivity of habitat network models to changes in maximum dispersal distance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Predicting the presence or absence (occurrence-state) of species in a certain area is highly important for conservation. Occurrence-state can be assessed by network models that take suitable habitat patches as nodes, connected by potential dispersal of ...

Measuring short distance dispersal of Alliaria petiolata and determining potential long distance dispersal mechanisms [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Introduction Alliaria petiolata, an herbaceous plant, has invaded woodlands in North America. Its ecology has been thoroughly studied, but an overlooked aspect of its biology is seed dispersal distances and mechanisms.

Long-distance dispersal of monk parakeets
Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2023 Dispersión a larga distancia de las cotorras argentinas Las especies invasivas amenazan la biodiversidad en todo el mundo y, por ello, en el ámbito de la biología de la conservación se considera prioritario determinar las causas y mitigar los efectos de ...

Long‐distance dispersal in the short‐distance dispersing house sparrow (Passer domesticus) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a small passerine known to be highly sedentary. Throughout a 30‐year capture–mark–recapture study, we have obtained occasional reports of recoveries far outside our main metapopulation study system, documenting ...

Evolution of dispersal distance: Maternal investment leads to bimodal dispersal kernels [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2015 Since dispersal research has mainly focused on the evolutionary dynamics of dispersal rates, it remains unclear what shape evolutionarily stable dispersal kernels have.

Long Distance Seed Dispersal by Forest Elephants [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 By dispersing seeds long distances, large, fruit-eating animals influence plant population spread and community dynamics. After fruit consumption, animal gut passage time and movement determine seed dispersal patterns and distances.

Long-distance dispersal via ocean currents connects Omani clownfish populations throughout entire species range. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Dispersal is a crucial ecological process, driving population dynamics and defining the structure and persistence of populations. Measuring demographic connectivity between discreet populations remains a long-standing challenge for most marine organisms ...

Atmospheric transport reveals grass pollen dispersion distances [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2022 Identifying the origin of bioaerosols is of central importance in many biological disciplines, such as human health, agriculture, forestry, aerobiology and conservation. Modelling sources, transportation pathways and sinks can reveal how bioaerosols vary in the atmosphere and their environmental impact.

Heritability and artificial selection on ambulatory dispersal distance in Tetranychus urticae: effects of density and maternal effects. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Dispersal distance is understudied although the evolution of dispersal distance affects the distribution of genetic diversity through space. Using the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, we tested the conditions under which dispersal distance ...

Evolution of dispersal distance [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2011 The problem of how often to disperse in a randomly fluctuating environment has long been investigated, primarily using patch models with uniform dispersal. Here, we consider the problem of choice of seed size for plants in a stable environment when there is a trade off between survivability and dispersal range. Ezoe (J Theor Biol 190:287-293, 1998) and
