DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1065
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Mosses produce asexual propagules, which are dispersed, thus allowing population establishment and maintenance. However, it is unknown if or how protonemata-one of their asexually produced propagules-are dispersed. Moss protonemata were exposed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1188
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Comparing ecological attributes of endemic species with related, widespread species can reveal differences accounting for rarity. Forests of the southeastern United States are home to many range-restricted endemic and widespread species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1207
Abstract: PREMISE OF THE STUDY Although an evolutionary link between breeding system and dispersibility has been proposed, to date empirical data and theoretical models of plants show contrasting trends. METHODS We tested two competing hypotheses for… read more here.

How individual, social, and ecological conditions influence dispersal decisions in male vervet monkeys
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "American Journal of Primatology"
DOI: 10.1002/ajp.23426
Abstract: Dispersal between social groups reduces the risk of inbreeding and can improve individuals' reproductive opportunities. However, this movement has costs, such as increased risk of predation and starvation, loss of allies and kin support, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4296
Abstract: Abstract Anthropogenic alterations to landscape structure and composition can have significant impacts on biodiversity, potentially leading to species extinctions. Population‐level impacts of landscape change are mediated by animal behaviors, in particular dispersal behavior. Little is… read more here.

The competition–dispersal trade‐off exists in forbs but not in graminoids: A case study from multispecies alpine grassland communities

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4856
Abstract: Abstract Much theoretical evidence has demonstrated that a trade‐off between competitive and dispersal ability plays an important role in facilitating species coexistence. However, experimental evidence from natural communities is still rare. Here, we tested the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6335
Abstract: Abstract Understanding the role of dispersal and adaptation in the evolutionary history of marine species is essential for predicting their response to changing conditions. We analyzed patterns of genetic differentiation in the key tropical calcifying… read more here.

Lack of conspicuous sex‐biased dispersal patterns at different spatial scales in an Asian endemic goose species breeding in unpredictable steppe wetlands

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6382
Abstract: Abstract Dispersal affects the spatial distribution and population structure of species. Dispersal is often male‐biased in mammals while female‐biased in birds, with the notable exception of the Anatidae. In this study, we tested genetic evidence… read more here.

Risky movements? Natal dispersal does not decrease survival of a large herbivore
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7227
Abstract: Abstract Natal dispersal is assumed to be a particularly risky movement behavior as individuals transfer, often long distances, from birth site to site of potential first reproduction. Though, because this behavior persists in populations, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7415
Abstract: Abstract Inferring parameters related to the aggregation pattern of parasites and to their dispersal propensity are important for predicting their ecological consequences and evolutionary potential. Nonetheless, it is notoriously difficult to infer these parameters from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8286
Abstract: Abstract In general, it is accepted that gap formation significantly affects the placement of scatter‐hoarded seeds by small rodents, but the effects of different forest gap sizes on the seed‐eating and scatter‐hoarding behaviors of small… read more here.
