Perhaps the earliest form of monitoring the regional spread of plant disease was a group of
growers gathering together at the market and discussing what they see in their crops. This …

Genetic variation in dispersal ability may result in the spatial sorting of alleles during range
expansion. Recent theory suggests that spatial sorting can favour the rapid evolution of life …

Understanding rates of survival and recruitment is critical to population management, and
capture–recapture methods of estimation are widely used. Spatial models allow for a spatial …

Behavior such as ontogenetic vertical migration (OVM) limits the transport of marine larvae
with short pelagic larval durations (PLDs), but its effect on the supposed long-distance …

Ecosystems are marvelous assemblages of individuals that grow, reproduce, interact with
one another, move about in space, and eventually die. Ecosystems also provide essential …

Corals are critical to marine biodiversity. Reproduction and dispersal are key to their
resilience, but rarely quantified in nature. Exploiting a unique system—a fully censused …

Genetic and demographic estimates of dispersal are often thought to be inconsistent. In this
study, we use the damselfly Coenagrion mercuriale (Odonata: Zygoptera) as a model to …

Marine biologists have gone through a paradigm shift, from the assumption that marine
populations are largely 'open'owing to extensive larval dispersal to the realization that …

Scale transition theory is an approach to understanding population and community
dynamics in the presence of spatial or temporal variation in environmental factors or …

Dispersal kernels provide a useful way to quantify the average spatial distribution of
propagules originating from a given point in space. Consequently, dispersal kernels have …
