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-

Social Distancing as p-Dispersion Problem [PDF]

IEEE Access, 2020
The spread of COVID-19 and similar viruses poses new challenges for our society. There is a strong incentive towards safety measures that help to mitigate the outbreaks. Many countries have imposed social distancing measures that require a minimum distance between people in given places, such as schools, restaurants, shops, etc.

Seed dispersal in six species of terrestrial orchids in Biebrza National Park (NE Poland)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2017
Knowledge about seed dispersal is required to explain problems in ecology, phylogeography, and conservation biology. Even though seed dispersal is a fundamental mechanism to understand problems at different levels of biological organization (individual ...

Long-distance airborne dispersal of SARS-CoV-2 in COVID-19 wards

Scientific Reports, 2020
Evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2, as well as other coronaviruses, can be dispersed and potentially transmitted by aerosols directly or via ventilation systems.

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 ...

Ants cannot account for interpopulation dispersal of the arillate pea Daviesia triflora [PDF]

, 2009
• Estimating distances and rates of seed dispersal, especially long-distance dispersal (LDD), is critical for understanding the dynamics of patchily distributed populations and species’ range shifts in response to environmental change.

Individual Nest Site Preferences Do Not Explain Upslope Population Shifts of a Secondary Cavity-Nesting Species

Animals, 2021
Geographic ranges of plants and animals are shifting due to environmental change. While some species are shifting towards the poles and upslope in elevation, the processes leading to these patterns are not well known.

Low rate of between-population seed dispersal restricts genetic connectivity and metapopulation dynamics in a clonal shrub [PDF]

, 2012
Clonal species normally have low seed production, low recruitment rates and long lifespans, and it is expected that the rates of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of seeds will be low as well. Banksia candolleana is a clonal shrub in Mediterranean-type, fire-

The Role of long distance dispersal versus local retention in replenishing marine populations [PDF]

, 2003
Early models and evidence from genetics suggested that long distance dispersal of larvae is likely a common event leading to considerable population connectivity among distant populations.
