The Response of a protandrous species to exploitation, and the implications for management: a case study with patellid limpets

, 2005
A zygote production model for the patellid limpet Patella vulgata has been developed to examine the effect of exploitation on the reproductive output of a protandrous (male to female sequential) hermaphrodite.

Percentages of species whose spatial distributions were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by environmental filtering only, dispersal limitation only, jointly affected by both environmental filtering and dispersal limitation at three tree/shrub life stages and three dispersal modes in the plot by the jointly modeling approach.

Scale-dependent dispersal drives community assembly of breeding birds along elevational gradients

Ecological Processes
Background Identifying the processes that govern community assembly along elevational gradients has been a central theme in ecology, especially in montane ecosystems where abundant species and strong turnover are present.

Data from: Dispersal and establishment limitation slows plant community recovery in post-agricultural longleaf pine savannas

, 2017
Abandoned agricultural lands often have distinct plant communities from areas with no history of agriculture because plant species fail to recolonize. This may be due to dispersal limitation from a lack of seeds, or establishment limitation because of ...

Massive and effective acorn dispersal into agroforestry systems by an overlooked vector, the Eurasian magpie (Pica pica)

Ecosphere, 2019
Oak regeneration and the expansion of forested sites in Eurasia rely on acorn dispersal by animals, especially the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). However, in open agroforestry systems where jays are absent, such as old fields far from acorn sources,

Data from: Habitat filtering not dispersal limitation shapes oceanic island floras: species assembly of the Galápagos archipelago

, 2017
Remote locations, such as oceanic islands, typically harbour relatively few species, some of which go on to generate endemic radiations. Species colonising these locations tend to be a non-random subset from source communities, which is thought to ...

Experimental testing of dispersal limitation in soil bacterial communities with a propagule addition approach

, 2018
The role of dispersal in the assembly of microbial communities remains contentious. This study tested the importance of dispersal limitation for the structuring of local soil bacterial communities using an experimental approach of propagule addition ...

Dispersal limitation: Evolutionary origins and consequences in arthropods

, 2019
Niche and dispersal ability are key traits for explaining the geographical structuring of species into discrete populations, and its evolutionary significance. Beyond their individual effects, the interplay between species niche and its geographic limits,

Dispersal and microsite limitation in floodplain grassland restoration

, 2010
Intensive management has resulted in a loss of plant diversity in European floodplain grasslands. In particular, species adapted to traditional land use have largely declined or disappeared.

The role of dispersal limitation in the forest biome shifts of Europe in the last 18,000 years [Elektronisk resurs]

Aim: How the ability of plants to move towards newly favourable habitats (dispersal limitation) impacts the change of biome distribution and transition under fast climate warming is still debated.
