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 …

Humans fundamentally affect dispersal, directly by transporting individuals and indirectly by
altering landscapes and natural vectors. This human-mediated dispersal (HMD) modifies …

Body size is intrinsically linked to metabolic rate and life-history traits, and is a crucial
determinant of food webs and community dynamics,. The increased temperatures …

The factors responsible for variation in dispersal distances across species remain poorly
understood. Previous comparative studies found differing results and equivocal support for …

Insect invasions, the establishment and spread of nonnative insects in new regions, can
have extensive economic and environmental consequences. Increased global connectivity …

Given their dormancy capability (long-term resistant stages) and their ability to colonise and
reproduce, microscopic aquatic animals have been suggested having cosmopolitan …

Abstract Plant Species with Extremely Small Populations, PSESP, is a conservation concept
developed in China aimed at rescuing most threatened plant species of China. The PSESP …

As the single opportunity for plants to move, seed dispersal has an important impact on plant
fitness, species distributions and patterns of biodiversity. However, models that predict …

Movement, from foraging to migration, is known to be under the influence of the
environment. The translation of environmental cues to individual movement decision making …

Ecology and evolution unfold in spatially structured communities, where dispersal links
dynamics across scales. Because dispersal is multicausal, identifying general drivers …
