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

Dispersal costs can be classified into energetic, time, risk and opportunity costs and may be
levied directly or deferred during departure, transfer and settlement. They may equally be …

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 …

Unintentional species invasions are instigated by human-mediated dispersal of individuals
beyond their native range. Although most introductions fail at the first hurdle, a select subset …

While the mechanistic links between animal movement and population dynamics are
ecologically obvious, it is much less clear when knowledge of animal movement is a …

Recent patterns of global change have highlighted the importance of understanding the
dynamics and mechanisms of species range shifts and expansions. Unique demographic …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

Understanding the movement of species' ranges is a classic ecological problem that takes
on urgency in this era of global change. Historically treated as a purely ecological process …

Urban development is increasing across the globe. This poses a major threat to biodiversity,
which is often relatively poor in towns and cities. Despite much interest in identifying species' …

Biologists have recently devoted increasing attention to the role of rapid evolution in species'
responses to environmental change. However, it is still unclear what evolutionary responses …
