Stratified dispersal and increasing genetic variation during the invasion of Central Europe by the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera [PDF]

, 2010
Invasive species provide opportunities for investigating evolutionary aspects of colonization processes, including initial foundations of populations and geographic expansion.

Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]

, 2011
Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

Cooperative breeding and long-distance dispersal: a test using vagrant records. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Cooperative breeding is generally associated with increased philopatry and sedentariness, presumably because short-distance dispersal facilitates the maintenance of kin groups.

Are introduced species better dispersers than native species? A global comparative study of seed dispersal 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.

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication

, 2020
It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Changes in seed dispersal processes and the potential for between-patch connectivity for an arid land daisy [PDF]

, 2012
Dispersal is a major and critical process in population biology that has been particularly challenging to study. Animals can have major roles in seed dispersal even in species that do not appear specifically adapted to animal-aided dispersal.

Dispersal of larval and juvenile seabream: Implications for Mediterranean marine protected areas [PDF]

, 2015
In the marine context, information about dispersal is essential for the design of networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). Generally, most of the dispersal of demersal fishes is thought to be driven by the transport of eggs and larvae in currents, with

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.

Mathematical Modelling of Mosquito Dispersal in a Heterogeneous Environment. [PDF]

, 2012
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sites, affects mosquito dispersal behaviour and ...

Using spatial genetics to quantify mosquito dispersal for control programs

BMC Biology, 2020
Background Hundreds of millions of people get a mosquito-borne disease every year and nearly one million die. Transmission of these infections is primarily tackled through the control of mosquito vectors. The accurate quantification of mosquito dispersal
