Measuring short distance dispersal of Alliaria petiolata and determining potential long distance dispersal mechanisms [PDF]
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 Fungi
Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal dispersal focuses on only a small fraction of species.

Long-distance dispersal of monk parakeets
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 Seed Dispersal by Forest Elephants [PDF]
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 in the short‐distance dispersing house sparrow (Passer domesticus) [PDF]
The 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 ...

Isolation by distance in populations with power-law dispersal [PDF]
Limited dispersal of individuals between generations results in isolation by distance, in which individuals further apart in space tend to be less related.

Rapid, long-distance dispersal by pumice rafting [PDF]
Pumice is an extremely effective rafting agent that can dramatically increase the dispersal range of a variety of marine organisms and connect isolated shallow marine and coastal ecosystems.

Long-distance dispersal in amphibians [PDF]
Although the distribution patterns of major amphibian lineages are mainly explained by a Pangean origin with subsequent vicariant diversification, dispersal events have exerted a strong influence on present-day distributions. Long-distance dispersal (LDD)

What is long‐distance dispersal? And a taxonomy of dispersal events [PDF]
Summary Dispersal is a key individual‐based process influencing many life‐history attributes and scaling up to population‐level properties (e.g. metapopulation connectivity). A persistent challenge in dispersal ecology has been the robust characterization of dispersal functions (kernels), a fundamental tool to predict how dispersal processes respond ...

Ecology and Dispersal of the Bedbug [PDF]
The global bedbug resurgence has left the scientific community racing to fill large gaps in our understanding of the biology and ecology of this forgotten pest. Studying the ecology of a species so closely associated with humans has inherent difficulties,
