Long‐distance dispersal in the short‐distance dispersing house sparrow (Passer domesticus) [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe house sparrow (Passer domesticus) is a small passerine known to be highly sedentary. Throughout a 30‐year capture–mark–recapture study, we have obtained occasional reports of recoveries far outside our main metapopulation study system, documenting ...

Predicting the spatio-temporal distribution of the invasive alien plant Andropogon virginicus, in the South Korean peninsula considering long-distance dispersal capacities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 The spread of invasive alien species is a major threat to biodiversity. Estimating the long-distance dispersal capacity of invasive alien plants is vital for understanding their population dynamics and community composition.

Long-term satellite tracking reveals patterns of long-distance dispersal in juvenile and adult Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Long-distance dispersal plays a key role in species distribution and persistence. However, its movement metrics and ecological implications may differ whether it is undertaken by juveniles (natal dispersal) or adults (breeding dispersal). We investigated

Long-distance dispersal via ocean currents connects Omani clownfish populations throughout entire species range. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Dispersal is a crucial ecological process, driving population dynamics and defining the structure and persistence of populations. Measuring demographic connectivity between discreet populations remains a long-standing challenge for most marine organisms ...

Dynamic Species Distribution Modeling Reveals the Pivotal Role of Human-Mediated Long-Distance Dispersal in Plant Invasion [PDF]
Biology, 2022 Plant invasions generate massive ecological and economic costs worldwide. Predicting their spatial dynamics is crucial to the design of effective management strategies and the prevention of invasions.

Measuring short distance dispersal of Alliaria petiolata and determining potential long distance dispersal mechanisms [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Introduction Alliaria petiolata, an herbaceous plant, has invaded woodlands in North America. Its ecology has been thoroughly studied, but an overlooked aspect of its biology is seed dispersal distances and mechanisms.

Evidence of avian-mediated long distance dispersal in American tardigrades [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Terrestrial tardigrades, commonly known as “water bears”, are part of a phylum of microscopic, aquatic invertebrates famous for cryptobiosis and space travel, but little is known about their modes of dispersal on Earth.

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

Characteristics and drivers of high-altitude ladybird flight: insights from vertical-looking entomological radar. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding the characteristics and drivers of dispersal is crucial for predicting population dynamics, particularly in range-shifting species. Studying long-distance dispersal in insects is challenging, but recent advances in entomological radar offer

Climatic niche divergence and long-distance dispersal contributed to the pantropical intercontinental disjunctions of a liana lineage (Uncaria, Rubiaceae) [PDF]
Plant DiversityThe formation of pantropical intercontinental disjunction (PID) in plants has generally been attributed to vicariance, boreotropical migration, and long-distance dispersal.
