DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4734
Abstract: Abstract Dispersal is thought to be an important process determining range size, especially for species in highly spatially structured habitats, such as tropical reef fishes. Despite intensive research efforts, there is conflicting evidence about the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01739-2
Abstract: Deforestation is a major driver of biodiversity loss in the Tropical region, but the role of upstream refugia and dispersal ability on the community response to this disturbance is unknown. We assessed the relevance of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-020-01009-0
Abstract: To track future climate space, seed dispersal will be essential for plants, but dispersal ability is rarely measured or incorporated into species distribution models. Species distribution models (SDMs) can rank habitat suitability at a local… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/hdy.2017.40
Abstract: In a simulation study of genotypes conducted over 100 generations for more than 1600 butterfly’s individuals, we evaluate how the increase of anthropogenic fragmentation and reduction of habitat size along urbanisation gradients (from 7 to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.230051
Abstract: The relationship between species local abundance and their regional distribution (occupancy) is one of the most extensively recognized and investigated patterns in ecology. While exceptions exist, the generally held model is that locally abundant species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.0489
Abstract: Dispersal ability is known to influence geographical structuring of genetic variation within species, with a direct relationship between low vagility and population genetic structure, which can potentially give rise to allopatric speciation. However, our general… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14390
Abstract: Species' ecological traits influence their spatial genetic patterns. Bedrock preference strongly shapes the phylogeography of alpine plants, but its interactions with other ecological traits have rarely been disentangled. Here, we explore whether dispersal ability and… read more here.
