Atmospheric aerosol particles of biological origin are a very diverse group of biological
materials and structures, including microorganisms, dispersal units, fragments and …

Despite the numerous studies which have been conducted during the past decade on
species ranges and their relationship to the environment, our understanding of how …

This paper proposes a novel swarm intelligence bioinspired optimization algorithm, called
the Dandelion Optimizer (DO), for solving continuous optimization problems. DO simulates …

It is often assumed that there is a trade‐off between maternal provisioning and dispersal
capacity, leading small‐seeded species to disperse further than large‐seeded species …

Comparative functional ecology seeks to understand why and how ecological systems and
their components operate differently across environments. Although traditionally used in …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Fens represent a large array of ecosystem services, including the highest biodiversity found
among wetlands, hydrological services, water purification and carbon sequestration. Land …

1. We investigated the relationships of seed size, dispersal mode and other species
characteristics to interspecific variation in mean primary seed dispersal distances, mean …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

The work of conservation biology has grown from local studies of single species into a
discipline concerned with map** and managing biodiversity on a global scale. Remote …
