Animal movement comes in a variety of 'types' including small foraging movements, larger
one-way dispersive movements, seasonally-predictable round-trip migratory movements …

Infectious diseases are a threat to human health and a hindrance to societal development.
Consequently, the spread of diseases in both time and space has been widely studied …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces sha** the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Alkaloids, represent a group of interesting and complex chemical compounds, produced by
the secondary metabolism of living organisms in different biotopes. They are relatively …

Spatial self‐structuring has been a focus of recent interest among evolutionary ecologists.
We review recent developments in the study of the interplay between spatial self‐structuring …

Dispersal evolution modifies diverse spatial processes, such as range expansions or
biological invasions of single species, but we are currently lacking a realistic vision for …

Migrations, ie the recurring, roundtrip movement of animals between distant and distinct
habitats, occur among diverse metazoan taxa. Although traditionally linked to avoidance of …

Studies of animal locomotion and movement largely assume that individuals are healthy and
performing to the best of their abilities in ways which are adapted to their survival. However …

Individual differences in contact rate can arise from host, group and landscape
heterogeneity and can result in different patterns of spatial spread for diseases in wildlife …

Spatial structure has dramatic effects on the demography and the evolution of species. A
large variety of theoretical models have attempted to understand how local dispersal may …
