Invasive species control: incorporating demographic data and seed dispersal into a management model for Rhododendron ponticum [PDF]

, 2009
Rhododendron ponticum is a serious invasive alien plant in the British Isles and is of significant conservation and economic concern. Here, we integrate information on both the life-history and spatial dynamics of this species within an individual-based,

Darwin’s wind hypothesis: does it work for plant dispersal in fragmented habitats? [PDF]

, 2009
Using the wind-dispersed plant Mycelis muralis, we examined how landscape fragmentation affects variation in seed traits contributing to dispersal.

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.

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.

Microbial modification of host long-distance dispersal capacity

BMC Biology, 2009
Background Dispersal plays a key role in shaping biological and ecological processes such as the distribution of spatially-structured populations or the pace and scale of invasion.

Long-distance passive dispersal in microscopic aquatic animals

Movement Ecology, 2019
Given their dormancy capability (long-term resistant stages) and their ability to colonise and reproduce, microscopic aquatic animals have been suggested having cosmopolitan distribution.

Effectiveness of corridors varies among phytosociological plant groups and dispersal syndromes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
In agricultural landscapes, semi-natural habitats are scarce and remaining habitat patches are largely isolated. However, linear landscape elements might facilitate dispersal of plant species through the agricultural landscape matrix. We investigated the

Owl-mediated diploendozoochorous seed dispersal increases dispersal distance and supports seedling establishment

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Seed dispersal is an essential process contributing to the maintenance of plant populations. Zoochory is a widespread way of plant dispersal in every terrestrial ecosystem that can ensure the long-distance dispersal of seeds.
