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 ...

Effective long-distance pollen dispersal in Centaurea jacea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Agri-environment schemes play an increasingly important role for the conservation of rare plants in intensively managed agricultural landscapes. However, little is known about their effects on gene flow via pollen dispersal between populations of these ...

Modelling the invasion dynamics of the African citrus psyllid: The role of human-mediated dispersal and urban and peri-urban citrus trees [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2023 The African citrus psyllid, Trioza erytreae (Del Guercio) (Hemiptera, Triozidae), is native to tropical Africa and invasive species in North America and Europe. The main host plants are citrus, displaying a preference for lemon trees.

Seed dispersal effectiveness in fragmented and defaunated landscapes
Ecosphere, 2023 Landscape fragmentation and defaunation have major impacts on plant dispersal and dynamics. However, whether the impact of such perturbations on seed dispersal and recruitment change in sign and strength across habitats and spatial scales, and whether ...

Cooperative breeding and long-distance dispersal: a test using vagrant records. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Cooperative breeding is generally associated with increased philopatry and sedentariness, presumably because short-distance dispersal facilitates the maintenance of kin groups.

Isolation by distance in populations with power-law dispersal
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Limited dispersal of individuals between generations results in isolation by distance, in which individuals further apart in space tend to be less related.

Long-Distance Pollen Dispersal in Urban Green Roof and Ground-Level Habitats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Long-distance pollen dispersal is critical for gene flow in plant populations, yet pollen dispersal patterns in urban habitats such as green roofs have not been extensively studied.

Long-Distance Dispersal of Fungi. [PDF]
Microbiol Spectr, 2017 Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal dispersal focuses on only a small fraction of species.
