Marine debris facilitates the long-distance dispersal of fish species
Drifting marine debris has been shown to host associated biological communities and facilitate their dispersal. Little is known about how biota...

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...

Pollen dispersal distance is determined by phenology and ancillary traits but not floral gender in an andromonoecious, fly-pollinated alpine herb
Pollen-mediated gene flow and spatial genetic structure have rarely been studied in alpine plants that are pollinated by dipteran insects. In...

disperseNN2 : a neural network for estimating dispersal distance from georeferenced polymorphism dataSpatial genetic variation is shaped in part by an organism’s dispersal ability. We present a deep learning tool,
disperseNN2 , for estimating the mean...

Occasional long-distance dispersal may not prevent inbreeding in a threatened butterfly
BackgroundTo set up successful conservation measures, detailed knowledge on the dispersal and colonization capacities of the focal species and...

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...

Dispersal distance is driven by habitat availability and reproductive success in Northern Great Plains pi** plovers
BackgroundDispersal is a critical life history strategy that has important conservation implications, particularly for at-risk species with active...

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...

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

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...

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...

Biphasic range expansions with short- and long-distance dispersal
Long-distance dispersal (LDD) has long been recognized as a key factor in determining rates of spread in biological invasions. Two approaches for...

Long-distance dispersal drives the genetic variation and historical demography of Quercus magnoliifolia and Quercus resinosa (Fagaceae) in the Mexican highlands
While hybridization and introgression can have a strong adaptive importance, it can impede divergence of species. Quercus magnoliifolia and Q. resinosa ...
-
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...

The comparison of dispersal rate between invasive and native species varied by plant life form and functional traits
A long dispersal distance is widely used to indicate high invasiveness, but it ignores the temporal dimensions of plant invasion. Faster dispersal...

Long-Distance Locomotion of the Pygmy Wood Mouse (Sylvaemus uralensis, Muridae): Movement Speed and Distance Revealed by Group Biomarking
AbstractUsing the method of group biomarking with rhodamine B, new data on migratory patterns (natal dispersal and breeding dispersal) of the pygmy...

Large-scale genotypic identification reveals density-dependent natal dispersal patterns in an elusive bird of prey
BackgroundNatal dispersal, the distance between site of birth and site of first breeding, has a fundamental role in population dynamics and species’...

Clinging to the top: natal dispersal tracks climate gradient in a trailing-edge population of a migratory songbird
PurposeTrailing-edge populations at the low-latitude, receding edge of a shifting range face high extinction risk from climate change unless they are...

The effect of urbanization and behavioral factors on coyote net displacement and its implications for seed dispersal
Coyotes ( Canis latrans ) may be important seed dispersal vectors in urban areas, given their omnivorous diet and wide-ranging movement patterns...
