In seasonal environments, sinks that are more persistent than sources may serve as
temporal stepping stones for specialists. However, this possibility has to our knowledge, not …

Dispersal shapes the dynamics of populations, their genetic structure and species
distribution; therefore, knowledge of an organisms' dispersal abilities is crucial, especially in …

The presented research allowed for covering more features of new varieties of sea
buckthorn, demonstrating the bio-ecological potential of their plants against damage by sea …

After non‐native herbivores arrive in a novel habitat and establish, they must then disperse
to new host plants to continue invading. While flight‐capable insect herbivores can expand …

Phoresy is commonly considered to be a commensal interaction, in which one species
hitches a ride upon a different species for dispersal among resource patches. Despite being …

1. Colonisation, ie the establishment of dispersed individuals in an unoccupied area, is a
fundamental biological process that drives the distribution and range dynamics of …

Many non-native insects exhibit high fecundity and produce multiple generations peryear,
traits that can result in high numbers of propagules and facilitate establishment. These …

There is increasing interest in the possibility of using eriophyid mites as biological control
agents of invasive alien weeds; however their small size and our lack of knowledge about …

Many mite species disperse via the air. However, most methods described for the study of
aerial dispersal have some limitations in the collection and/or recovery of mites that could be …
