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 ...

Long Distance Seed Dispersal by Forest Elephants [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 By dispersing seeds long distances, large, fruit-eating animals influence plant population spread and community dynamics. After fruit consumption, animal gut passage time and movement determine seed dispersal patterns and distances.

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

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.

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.
