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...

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...

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...

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 ...

Chloroplast phylogenies of Australasian Gleichenia ferns (Gleicheniaceae) reveal incongruence with current taxonomy, and frequent long-distance dispersal
Gleichenia (Gleicheniaceae) is a genus of distinctive branching ferns well represented in Australasia (Australia, New Caledonia, and New Zealand)...

Long-distance movements of free-ranging sea snakes (Hydrophis, Elapidae)
The capacity for individuals to move long distances can profoundly influence how species are affected by localised threatening processes. Previous...

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...

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...

Impermeable landscape barrier does not affect the dispersion of small mammals after long-distance movement on a scale of hundreds of metres
The long-distance movement of small terrestrial mammals ensures functional connectivity between populations. This movement depends on both landscape...

Trapped indoors? Long-distance dispersal in mygalomorph spiders and its effect on species ranges
The Mygalomorphae includes tarantulas, trapdoor, funnel-web, purse-web and sheet-web spiders, species known for poor dispersal abilities. Here, we...

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...

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’...

On the search for grasslands: long distance dispersal of spring-staging Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis) from a farmland area in Southeast Denmark
Barnacle Geese wintering in an intensively farmed area in Southeast Denmark were GPS tagged in early March. Twenty tagged geese selected large open...

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...
-
Dispersal in Dytiscidae
Dytiscid beetles live in spatially discrete habitat patches of varying temporal duration and ecological stability. Many species are exemplary active...
-
Long-distance dispersal and home range establishment by a female sub-adult tiger (Panthera tigris) in the Panna landscape, central India
Dispersal from one population to another is crucial for meta-population stability and survival. Long-distance dispersal events have been widely...
-
Long distance pollen dispersal and intrapopulation genetic structure determined by clonal diversity in Hymenaea stigonocarpa populations of the Brazilian savanna
Key messageAlthough all populations show extensive pollen immigration, the occurrence of spatial genetic structure and biparental inbreeding...
-
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...

Post-dispersal astrobiological events: modelling macroevolutionary dynamics for lithopanspermia
Lithopanspermia is defined as dispersal of living extremophiles from one planetary body to another, through life-bearing rocks ejected by meteor...
