Dispersal in Dytiscidae
Dytiscid beetles live in spatially discrete habitat patches of varying temporal duration and ecological stability. Many species are exemplary active...

Validating the timing of New World monkey dispersal routes by lineage dispersal modeling and description of the Amazonian eastward route
New World monkeys (NWM) comprise a group of extant and extinct taxa exclusive to the Neotropics. Lineage dispersal modeling was employed to test the...

Ancient Wheat Genomes Illuminate Domestication, Dispersal, and Diversity
Ancient DNA (aDNA) promises to revolutionise our understanding of crop evolution. Wheat has been a major crop for millennia and has a particularly...

Study methodology impacts density-dependent dispersal observations: a systematic review
The relationship between animal dispersal and conspecific density has been explored in various study systems but results in terms of both the...

Unveiling juvenile dispersal distances in the rufous hornero: observational notes
Delayed dispersal is mediated by a trade-off between pursuing an immediate reproductive opportunity by a mature young and securing benefits of...

Biotic and abiotic dispersal of a large-seeded keystone genus in Madagascar
In tropical forests, most plant species rely on frugivorous animals for seed dispersal services. Such mutualisms are imperiled by defaunation, which...

Drivers of zooplankton dispersal in a pond metacommunity
Dispersal success is crucial for the survival of species in metacommunities. Zooplankton species engage in dispersal through time (i.e., egg bank)...
-
Dispersal potential does not predict recent range expansions of sub-Antarctic plant species
Dispersal influences many key aspects of plant ecology at both fine- and broad scales. However, dispersal events are challenging to quantify as they...

Seed dispersal function of the brown bear Ursus arctos on Hokkaido Island in northern Japan: gut passage time, dispersal distance, germination, and effects of remaining pulp
Megafauna are important seed dispersers because they can disperse large quantities of seeds over long distances. In Hokkaido, Japan, the largest...

Beta diversity of freshwater algal communities: influence of different dispersal mechanisms
This study investigates the impact of different dispersal vectors, such as amphibians and Odonata, on the temporal beta diversity of freshwater algae...
-
A framework for linking dispersal biology to connectivity across landscapes
ContextDispersal typically consists of three components—departure, transience and settlement—each of which can be influenced by the landscape. A...

Golgi dispersal in cancer stem cells promotes chemoresistance of colorectal cancer via the Golgi stress response
Chemotherapy is a crucial treatment for colorectal tumors. However, its efficacy is restricted by chemoresistance. Recently, Golgi dispersal has been...

Tree isolation enhances seed dispersal behavior by scatter-hoarding rodents
Human activities cause changes in the structure of landscapes that may impact negatively on wildlife at different levels. Agriculture and livestock,...

Evaluating connectivity models for conservation: insights from African lion dispersal patterns
ContextEvaluating connectivity and identifying corridors for protection is a central challenge in applied ecology and conservation. Rigorous...

Temperature changes affected mammal dispersal during the Great American Biotic Interchange
The Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) was a remarkable biogeographic event of biodiversity exchange between North and South America. Climate...
-
Source effects determine hydrochorous seed dispersal of ancient forest plants
Plant species of ancient forests tend to be poor dispersers, but recent field studies suggest that dispersal may be strongly accelerated in streams....
-
Distinct bacterial population dynamics and disease dissemination after biofilm dispersal and disassembly
Microbial communities that form surface-attached biofilms must release and disperse their constituent cells into the environment to colonize fresh...

Rapid urbanization declined mammals and mammal-mediated seed dispersal in a megacity, central China
Rapid urbanization has caused a series of environmental problems, but its influences on animal-related ecological functions (e.g., seed dispersal)...

Dispersal in Kentish Plovers (Charadrius alexandrinus): adult females perform furthest movements
Dispersal is an important behavioral process that plays a significant role in, among others, speciation, population viability, and individual...

Dispersal changes soil bacterial interactions with fungal wood decomposition
Although microbes are the major agent of wood decomposition - a key component of the carbon cycle - the degree to which microbial community dynamics...
