Niche Breadth and Olfactory Context Shape Informed Passive Dispersal

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
Experimental evolution reveals that niche breadth modulates informed passive dispersal in phytophagous mites through divergent strategies. While generalists optimise take‐off based on target cue familiarity and signal‐to‐noise ratios, specialists primarily track current host quality to trigger departure.
