Published in 2018 at "American journal of botany"

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.

Published in 2018 at "American journal of botany"

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.

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.

Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.10871

Abstract: Abstract Conservation translocations are frequently inhibited by extensive dispersal after release, which can expose animals to dispersal‐related mortality or Allee effects due to a lack of nearby conspecifics. However, translocation‐induced dispersals also provide opportunities to… read more here.

Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

Published in 2019 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

Published in 2020 at "Ecology and Evolution"

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.

Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70085

Abstract: Abstract Desertification is a major threat to biodiversity in arid areas of the world, partly because many organisms in these regions already exist at or near the limits of their movement and physiology. Here, we… read more here.

Published in 2024 at "Ecology and Evolution"

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.70097

Abstract: Abstract Dispersal is a complex series of movements before an individual establishes a home range. Animals must travel and forage in unfamiliar landscapes that include anthropogenic risks such as road crossings, harvest, and urban landscapes.… read more here.
