Dispersal is essential for species to survive the threats of habitat destruction and climate
change. Combining descriptions of dispersal ability with those of landscape structure, the …

Organismal movement is ubiquitous and facilitates important ecological mechanisms that
drive community and metacommunity composition and hence biodiversity. In most existing …

Over the past 30 years, one of the most rapidly expanding areas in ecology has been the
development of structured population models, where individuals have attributes such as …

Dispersal is a key individual‐based process influencing many life‐history attributes and
scaling up to population‐level properties (eg metapopulation connectivity). A persistent …

Plant dispersal syndromes are allocated based on diaspore morphology and used to predict
the dominant mechanisms of dispersal. Many authors assume that only angiosperms with …

Although there is a diversity of concerns about recent persistent declines in the abundances
of many species, the implications for the associated delivery of ecosystem services to people …

Pioneer trees with fleshy fruits are typically planted in restoration projects to attract frugivores
as a mean to increase dispersal and accelerate forest regeneration. However, differences in …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) promotes the colonization of isolated and remote habitats,
and thus it has been proposed as a mechanism for explaining the distributions of many …
