Dispersal and microsite limitation in an abandoned calcareous grassland of the southern prealps [PDF]
, 2000 Dispersal limitation is often involved when the species composition of a dry abandoned grassland shows a slow response to resumed regular mowing. A seed-addition experiment, using 32 species which do not belong to the local species pool, was performed on

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022 Environmental filtration and spatial processes are associated with variation in ecological communities and biodiversity; however, their relative importance to species beta diversity at different sampling scales has not been fully explored in desert plant

Reducing dispersal limitation via seed addition increases species richness but not above‐ground biomass [PDF]
, 2020 Seed dispersal limitation, which can be exacerbated by a number of anthropogenic causes, can result in local communities having fewer species than they might potentially support, representing a potential diversity deficit. The link between processes that

PLoS ONE, 2018 We assessed the relative importance of dispersal limitation, environmental heterogeneity and their joint effects as determinants of the spatial patterns of 229 species in the moist tropical forest of Barro Colorado Island (Panama). We differentiated five

Distinct Community Assembly Mechanisms of Different Growth Stages in a Warm Temperate Forest
Diversity, 2023 Community phylogenetic structure and diversity analysis are useful complements to species-centric approaches in biodiversity studies by providing new insights into the processes that drive community assembly.

PLoS ONE, 2013 Neutral community models have shown that limited migration can have a pervasive influence on the taxonomic composition of local communities even when all individuals are assumed of equivalent ecological fitness.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Kin selection on one hand, and gamete interactions in post-ejaculatory sexual selection on the other are two major research themes that have risen to prominence over the past half century and have simultaneously developed into central fields of research ...

Linking pollen limitation and seed dispersal effectiveness
Ecology Letters, 2023 Abstract Seed production and dispersal are crucial ecological processes impacting plant demography, species distributions and community assembly. Plant–animal interactions commonly mediate both seed production and seed dispersal, but current research often examines pollination and seed dispersal separately, which hinders our ...

Postglacial migration supplements climate in determining plant species ranges in Europe
, 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 ...

Global Ecology and ConservationThe failure of seeds to arrive at suitable sites (dispersal limitation) and/or unsuitable conditions for germination, seedling survival and growth (establishment limitation) can impede the regeneration of tropical forests.
