The ephemeral resource patch concept
Ephemeral resource patches (ERPs)–short lived resources including dung, carrion,
temporary pools, rotting vegetation, decaying wood, and fungi–are found throughout every …

Carrying capacity of spatially distributed metapopulations
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 …

Experimental evolution of dispersal: Unifying theory, experiments and natural systems
Dispersal is a central life history trait that affects the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities. The recent use of experimental evolution for the study of …

Dispersal syndromes can link intraspecific trait variability and meta-ecosystem functioning
Dispersal mediates the flow of organisms in meta-communities and subsequently energy
and material flows in meta-ecosystems. Individuals within species often vary in dispersal …

The interplay between abiotic and biotic factors in dispersal decisions in metacommunities
Suitable conditions for species to survive and reproduce constitute their ecological niche,
which is built by abiotic conditions and interactions with conspecifics and heterospecifics …

Dispersal plasticity driven by variation in fitness across species and environmental gradients
Dispersal plasticity, when organisms adjust their dispersal decisions depending on their
environment, can play a major role in ecological and evolutionary dynamics, but how it …

Dispersal syndromes in challenging environments: A cross‐species experiment
Dispersal is a central biological process tightly integrated into life‐histories, morphology,
physiology and behaviour. Such associations, or syndromes, are anticipated to impact the …

A multidimensional approach to the expression of phenotypic plasticity
Phenotypic plasticity is increasingly recognized as a key element of eco‐evolutionary
dynamics, but it remains challenging to assess because of its multidimensional nature …

Ciliate cortical organization and dynamics for cell motility: comparing ciliates and vertebrates
AWJ Soh, CG Pearson - Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The generation of efficient fluid flow is crucial for organismal development and homeostasis,
sexual reproduction, and motility. Multi‐ciliated cells possess fields of motile cilia that beat in …
