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

Modeling large-scale dispersal distances [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 2002 Abstract We present an approach to analyze dispersal distance data. This approach allows one to take into account accuracy of the recorded dispersal distances. Three distributions were used, all assuming continuous space; a maximum likelihood approach was used for parameter estimation and model selection.

Seed dispersal effectiveness in fragmented and defaunated landscapes
Ecosphere, 2023 Landscape fragmentation and defaunation have major impacts on plant dispersal and dynamics. However, whether the impact of such perturbations on seed dispersal and recruitment change in sign and strength across habitats and spatial scales, and whether ...

Distance-2-Dispersion: Dispersion with Further Constraints
, 2023 The aim of the dispersion problem is to place a set of $k(\leq n)$ mobile robots in the nodes of an unknown graph consisting of $n$ nodes such that in the final configuration each node contains at most one robot, starting from any arbitrary initial configuration of the robots on the graph.

Long-Distance Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]
, 2014 Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

Plant canopy may promote seed dispersal by wind
Scientific Reports, 2022 Seed dispersal has received much research attention. The plant canopy can intercept diaspores, but the effect of the plant canopy (the aboveground portion of a plant consisting of branches and leaves) on dispersal distance has not been explored ...

Long−Distance Wind Dispersal Drives Population Range Expansion of Solidago canadensis
Plants, 2022 Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) is a serious invasive alien plant species that exerts negative effects on natural and agricultural ecosystems in China. Few studies have addressed the dispersal of S.

Geographic distance affects dispersal of the patchy distributed greater long-tailed hamster (Tscherskia triton). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Dispersal is a fundamental process in ecology influencing the genetic structure and the viability of populations. Understanding how variable factors influence the dispersal of the population is becoming an important question in animal ecology.

Ecological Indicators, 2021 The species composition of a community is driven by the dispersal capacity of the species forming that community and their ecological niche. While the ecological niches of EPTs (Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera) are well-studied due to their ...
