Seed dispersal in six species of terrestrial orchids in Biebrza National Park (NE Poland)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2017
Knowledge about seed dispersal is required to explain problems in ecology, phylogeography, and conservation biology. Even though seed dispersal is a fundamental mechanism to understand problems at different levels of biological organization (individual ...

Stratified dispersal and increasing genetic variation during the invasion of Central Europe by the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera [PDF]

, 2010
Invasive species provide opportunities for investigating evolutionary aspects of colonization processes, including initial foundations of populations and geographic expansion.

Geographic distance affects dispersal of the patchy distributed greater long-tailed hamster (Tscherskia triton). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Dispersal is a fundamental process in ecology influencing the genetic structure and the viability of populations. Understanding how variable factors influence the dispersal of the population is becoming an important question in animal ecology.

Mechanisms protect airborne green microalgae during long distance dispersal. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractViable microalgae occur in the air. Whether they can survive the stresses such as UV, desiccation and freezing temperatures at high altitudes during long distance dispersal is rarely studied. If yes, what mechanisms confer the tolerance?

Patterns, causes, and consequences of marine larval dispersal [PDF]

, 2015
Quantifying the probability of larval exchange among marine populations is key to predicting local population dynamics and optimizing networks of marine protected areas. The pattern of connectivity among populations can be described by the measurement of

Sensitivity of habitat network models to changes in maximum dispersal distance.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Predicting the presence or absence (occurrence-state) of species in a certain area is highly important for conservation. Occurrence-state can be assessed by network models that take suitable habitat patches as nodes, connected by potential dispersal of ...

Similar self-organizing scale-invariant properties characterize early cancer invasion and long range species spread [PDF]

, 2007
Occupancy of new habitats through dispersion is a central process in nature. In particular, long range dispersal is involved in the spread of species and epidemics, although it has not been previously related with cancer invasion, a process that involves

Long−Distance Wind Dispersal Drives Population Range Expansion of Solidago canadensis

Plants, 2022
Canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) is a serious invasive alien plant species that exerts negative effects on natural and agricultural ecosystems in China. Few studies have addressed the dispersal of S.

Spatial heterogeneities of human-mediated dispersal vectors accelerate the range expansion of invaders with source–destination-mediated dispersal

Scientific Reports, 2020
Rapid range expansions of invasive species are a major threat to ecosystems. Understanding how invasive species increase their habitat ranges and how environmental factors, including intensity of human activities, influence dispersal processes is an ...

Phenotypic and environmental correlates of natal dispersal in a long-lived territorial vulture

Scientific Reports, 2021
Natal dispersal, the movement between the birth and the first breeding site, has been rarely studied in long-lived territorial birds with a long-lasting pre-breeding stage.
