Current theory frames animal dispersal as an outcome of potentially complex, multi-factorial interactions and tradeoffs that may vary across individual, sex, rank, age, social group, species, habitat ...

Stochastic processes can play an important role in microbial community assembly. Dispersal limitation is one process that can increase stochasticity and obscure relationships between environmental ...

Researchers report global patterns of mangrove dispersal. Mangroves--trees or shrubs that grow in salt water along tropical and subtropical shorelines--are ecologically and socioeconomically valuable.
