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.

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

Human-mediated dispersal of seeds over long distances [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008 Human activities have fundamental impacts on the distribution of species through altered land use, but also directly by dispersal of propagules. Rare long-distance dispersal events have a disproportionate importance for the spread of species including invasions.

Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]
, 2011 Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

Plant dispersal across the tropical Atlantic by wind and sea currents [PDF]
, 2004 This review brings together evidence on the monophyly and ages of angiosperm lineages ranging across the tropical Atlantic with data on the direction, strength, and speed of sea currents and wind jets across that ocean. Mainly for pragmatic reasons (data

Methods for estimating long‐distance dispersal
Oikos, 2003 Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) includes events in which propagules arrive, but do not necessarily establish, at a site far removed from their origin. Although important in a variety of ecological contexts, the system‐specific nature of LDD makes “far removed” difficult to quantify, partly, but not exclusively, because of inherent uncertainty typically ...

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

Evolution of dispersal distance: Maternal investment leads to bimodal dispersal kernels [PDF]
, 2015 Since dispersal research has mainly focused on the evolutionary dynamics of dispersal rates, it remains unclear what shape evolutionarily stable dispersal kernels have.
