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

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.

Dispersion Distance and the Matter Distribution of the Universe in Dispersion Space [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2015 We propose that "standard pings", brief broadband radio impulses, can be used to study the three-dimensional clustering of matter in the Universe even in the absence of redshift information. The dispersion of radio waves as they travel through the intervening plasma can, like redshift, be used as a cosmological distance measure.

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.

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. Yet, detailed knowledge about dispersal kernels, quantifying the statistical distribution of dispersal distances, is of pivotal importance for understanding biogeographic diversity ...

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 ...

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 ...
