Annual rainfall variation and dispersal limitation combine to alter invaded plant community diversity, dominance hierarchies and seeding phenology

open access: yesClimate Change Ecology, 2021
Natural ecosystems are threatened by climate change, fragmentation, and non-native species. Dispersal-limitation potentially compounds impacts of these factors on plant diversity, especially in isolated vegetation patches.

Postglacial migration supplements climate in determining plant species ranges in Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The influence of dispersal limitation on species ranges remains controversial. Considering the dramatic impacts of the last glaciation in Europe, species might not have tracked climate changes through time and, as a consequence, their present-day ranges ...

Spatial Variation in Soil Fungal Communities across Paddy Fields in Subtropical China

open access: yesmSystems, 2020
Fungi underpin almost all terrestrial ecosystem functions, yet our understanding of their community ecology lags far behind that of other organisms. Here, red paddy soils in subtropical China were collected across a soil depth profile, comprising 0-to-10-

The Limitations of 5f Delocalization and Dispersion

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Delocalization in the 5f states of the actinides is an important phenomenon, but poorly quantified. Here, the fundamental limitations of 5f dispersion measurements using angle and momentum resolved variants of photoelectron spectroscopy will be discussed.

LIMITED DISPERSAL, BUDDING DISPERSAL, AND COOPERATION: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY

open access: yesEvolution, 2009
Numerous theoretical studies have investigated how limited dispersal may provide an explanation for the evolution of cooperation, by leading to interactions between relatives. However, despite considerable theoretical attention, there has been a lack of empirical tests.

A dispersal‐limited sampling theory for species and alleles [PDF]

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2005
The importance of dispersal for biodiversity has long been recognized. However, it was never advertised as vigorously as Stephen Hubbell did in the context of his neutral community theory. After his book appeared in 2001, several scientists have sought and found analytical expressions for the effect of dispersal limitation on community composition ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

ON MODIFIED DISPERSION RELATIONS AND THE CHANDRASEKHAR MASS LIMIT [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Modern Physics D, 2009
Modified dispersion relations from effective field theory are shown to alter the Chandrasekhar mass limit. At exceptionally high densities, the modifications affect the pressure of a degenerate electron gas and can increase or decrease the mass limit, depending on the sign of the modifications.

Dispersion and the speed-limited particle-in-cell algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas, 2021
This paper discusses temporally continuous and discrete forms of the speed-limited particle-in-cell (SLPIC) method first treated by Werner et al. [Phys. Plasmas 25, 123512 (2018)]. The dispersion relation for a 1D1V electrostatic plasma whose fast particles are speed-limited is derived and analyzed.
