Distance decay of similarity in neotropical diatom communities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe regression of similarity against distance unites several ecological phenomena, and thus provides a highly useful approach for illustrating the spatial turnover across sites.

Predation risk increases dispersal distance in prey [PDF]

Naturwissenschaften, 2014
Understanding the ecological factors that affect dispersal distances allows us to predict the consequences of dispersal. Although predator avoidance is an important cause of prey dispersal, its effects on dispersal distance have not been investigated.

Density-dependent natal dispersal patterns in a leopard population recovering from over-harvest. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Natal dispersal enables population connectivity, gene flow and metapopulation dynamics. In polygynous mammals, dispersal is typically male-biased. Classically, the 'mate competition', 'resource competition' and 'resident fitness' hypotheses predict ...

Statistical Comparison of Trait-dependent Biogeographical Models indicates that Podocarpaceae Dispersal is influenced by both Seed Cone Traits and Geographical Distance.

Systematic Biology, 2019
The ability of lineages to disperse long distances over evolutionary timescales may be influenced by the gain or loss of traits adapted to enhance local, ecological dispersal.

Subterranean Life-Style Does Not Limit Long Distance Dispersal in African Mole-Rats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Dispersal from the natal site to breeding sites is a crucial phase in the life history of animals and can have profound effects on the reproductive ecology and the structure of animal societies.

Distance decay of similarity in fungivorous insect communities: assessing dispersal limitation using genetic data

Ecosphere, 2016
We evaluated how dispersal limitation affected spatial variation in the species composition of fungivorous insect communities inhabiting fruiting bodies of bracket fungi on scattered deadwoods.

Owl-mediated diploendozoochorous seed dispersal increases dispersal distance and supports seedling establishment

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Seed dispersal is an essential process contributing to the maintenance of plant populations. Zoochory is a widespread way of plant dispersal in every terrestrial ecosystem that can ensure the long-distance dispersal of seeds.

Age and Density of Mated Females Affect Dispersal Strategies in Spider Mite Tetranychus ludeni Zacher

Insects
The dispersal strategies of a species can affect its invasion success. Investigations into the dispersal strategies of invasive species in relation to different factors help improve our understanding of invasion mechanisms and provide knowledge for ...

Origins of the Hawaiian flora: Phylogenies and biogeography reveal patterns of long‐distance dispersal

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, 2018
Botanists have long considered the origins of the Hawaiian flora in terms of long‐distance dispersal from particular source areas. We extensively reviewed phylogenetic studies of the Hawaiian angiosperm flora to determine the most likely region of origin

Long-distance dispersal in red foxes Vulpes vulpes revealed by GPS tracking

Zeitschrift f\ ur Jagdwissenschaft, 2018
Dispersal is a fundamental process that facilitates population and range expansion by providing a mechanism for colonization and metapopulation linkages.
