Propagule dispersal beyond local scales has been considered rare and unpredictable.
However, for many plants, invertebrates, and microbes dispersed by birds, long-distance …

Organismal movement is ubiquitous and facilitates important ecological mechanisms that
drive community and metacommunity composition and hence biodiversity. In most existing …

INTRODUCTION Individual processes that shape geographical patterns of biodiversity are
increasingly understood, but their complex interactions on broad spatial and temporal scales …

The study of animal movement has always been a key element in ecological science,
because it is inherently linked to critical processes that scale from individuals to populations …

The growing field of movement ecology uses high resolution movement data to analyze
animal behavior across multiple scales: from individual foraging decisions to population …

Context Dispersal plays a key role in linking populations, habitat (re)-colonization, and
species range expansion. As fragmentation and habitat loss are ubiquitous threats and can …

Climate-driven range shifts may cause local extinctions, while the accompanying loss of
biotic interactions may trigger secondary coextinctions. At the same time, climate change …

Carrying capacity is a key concept in ecology. A body of theory, based on the logistic
equation, has extended predictions of carrying capacity to spatially distributed, dispersing …

Ecologists have long recognised that populations can persist in poor-quality habitats with
below-replacement population growth rates ('sinks') provided there is continual immigration …

The difficulty of integrating multiple theories, data and methods has slowed progress
towards making unified inferences of ecological change generalizable across large spatial …
