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.

Long-Distance Pollen Dispersal in Urban Green Roof and Ground-Level Habitats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Long-distance pollen dispersal is critical for gene flow in plant populations, yet pollen dispersal patterns in urban habitats such as green roofs have not been extensively studied.

Spatial mechanisms promoting plant coexistence. the role of dispersal and competition [PDF]

, 2009
One of the great challenges in ecology is to explain how large numbers of plant species are able to coexist in natural communities. The role of spatial structure for maintaining plant coexistence has so far mainly been explored by theory.

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.

Darwin’s wind hypothesis: does it work for plant dispersal in fragmented habitats? [PDF]

, 2009
Using the wind-dispersed plant Mycelis muralis, we examined how landscape fragmentation affects variation in seed traits contributing to dispersal.

Long-distance passive dispersal in microscopic aquatic animals

Movement Ecology, 2019
Given their dormancy capability (long-term resistant stages) and their ability to colonise and reproduce, microscopic aquatic animals have been suggested having cosmopolitan distribution.

Plant dispersal across the tropical Atlantic by wind and sea currents [PDF]

, 2004
This review brings together evidence on the monophyly and ages of angiosperm lineages ranging across the tropical Atlantic with data on the direction, strength, and speed of sea currents and wind jets across that ocean. Mainly for pragmatic reasons (data

Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]

, 2013
Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.

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

Invasive species control: incorporating demographic data and seed dispersal into a management model for Rhododendron ponticum [PDF]

, 2009
Rhododendron ponticum is a serious invasive alien plant in the British Isles and is of significant conservation and economic concern. Here, we integrate information on both the life-history and spatial dynamics of this species within an individual-based,
