Animal movement drives variation in seed dispersal distance in a plant–animal network [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 Frugivores play differing roles in shaping dispersal patterns yet seed dispersal distance is rarely quantified across entire communities. We model seed dispersal distance using gut passage times and bird movement for the majority (39 interactions) of ...

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 ...

Deconstructing isolation-by-distance: The genomic consequences of limited dispersal.
PLoS Genetics, 2017 Geographically limited dispersal can shape genetic population structure and result in a correlation between genetic and geographic distance, commonly called isolation-by-distance.

PLoS ONE, 2013 We provide the first global test of the idea that introduced species have greater seed dispersal distances than do native species, using data for 51 introduced and 360 native species from the global literature.

Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands: colonization routes and founder effect
AoB PLANTS, 2015 Our study provides new knowledge of two processes that are important for plant adaptation in a changing environment: 1) long-distance dispersal patterns, and 2) genetic founder effect on islands. Although the theoretical framework for the genetic founder

Seed dispersal distance classes and dispersal modes for the European flora
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2023 Motivation: Although dispersal ability is one of the key features determining the spatial dynamics of plant populations and the structure of plant communities, it is also one of the traits for which we still lack data for most species.

Oikos, 2021 traits and the frequency and effectiveness of different dispersal mechanisms (paying attention to unexpected vectors). Acknowledging the broad role of non-frugivores in facilitating LDD is crucial to improve predictions of the consequences of global ...

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 ...

PLoS ONE, 2023 The spread of invasive alien species is a major threat to biodiversity. Estimating the long-distance dispersal capacity of invasive alien plants is vital for understanding their population dynamics and community composition.

Effectiveness of corridors varies among phytosociological plant groups and dispersal syndromes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 In agricultural landscapes, semi-natural habitats are scarce and remaining habitat patches are largely isolated. However, linear landscape elements might facilitate dispersal of plant species through the agricultural landscape matrix. We investigated the
