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.

Extreme long-distance seed dispersal via sheep [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2006 Extremely long seed dispersal distances occur as a result of processes such as ocean drift and tornadoes. However, we have found that large numbers of seeds with different morphologies (Trifolium angustifolium, Daucus carota, Hordeum murinum, and Plantago lagopus) are frequently dispersed equivalent distances while attached to migrating ungulates.

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 ...

The establishment of plants following long-distance dispersal [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 Long-distance dispersal (LDD) beyond the range of a species is an important driver of ecological and evolutionary patterns, but insufficient attention has been given to postdispersal establishment. In this review, we summarize current knowledge of the post-LDD establishment phase in plant colonization, identify six key determinants of establishment ...

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 Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]
, 2014 Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

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.

Subterranean Life-Style Does Not Limit Long Distance Dispersal in African Mole-Rats
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Dispersal from the natal site to breeding sites is a crucial phase in the life history of animals and can have profound effects on the reproductive ecology and the structure of animal societies.

Does polyploidy facilitate long-distance dispersal? [PDF]
Ann Bot, 2014 The ability of plant lineages to reach all continents contributes substantially to their evolutionary success. This is exemplified by the Poaceae, one of the most successful angiosperm families, in which most higher taxa (tribes, subfamilies) have global distributions.
