Dispersal of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: Evidence and Insights for Ecological Studies
(Springer, 2020-09-12)
Dispersal is a critical ecological process that modulates gene flow and contributes to the maintenance of genetic and taxonomic diversity within ecosystems. Despite an increasing global understanding of the arbuscular ...
Generalist birds promote tropical forest regeneration and increase plant diversity via rare-biased seed dispersal
(Ecological Society of America, 2016-07)
Regenerated forests now compose over half of the world's tropical forest cover and are increasingly important as providers of ecosystem services, freshwater, and biodiversity conservation. Much of the value and functionality ...
Multifractal analysis of tensile toughness and filler dispersion for polypropylene–CaCO3 composites
(Elsevier Science, 2012-09)
Multifractal analyses were performed to elucidate the effect of incorporating maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) into a Polypropylene matrix: (i) on the dispersion of CaCO3 particles and (ii) on the fracture ...
Enhanced immunological and detoxification responses in Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, exposed to chemically dispersed oil
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chemically dispersed oil on an
economically and ecologically important species inhabiting coasts and estuaries, the
Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Studies were ...
Neighborhood Interactions and Larval Dispersal Behavior in Blowflies
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2009-05-01)
We performed a computational analysis employing a cellular automata model to investigate the larval dispersal behavior of blowflies. The spatially discrete model developed here, incorporates simple behavioral rules in local ...

The role of fleshy pericarp in seed germination and dispersal under flooded conditions in three wetland forest species
(2013)
In flooded habitats, inundations affect important forest regeneration processes, such as seed dispersal and germination. The main seed dispersal mechanism used by species in Austral South American temperate swamp and ...
The fate of Attalea phalerata (Palmae) seeds dispersed to a tapir latrine
(2001)
At the Beni Biological Station, Bolivia, we compared the fate of seeds of the palm Attalea phalerata dispersed by tapirs to a lattine with that of non-dispetsed seeds. Survival of seeds that had passed through tapir guts ...
Fruiting phenology as a “triggering attribute” of invasion process: Do invasive species take advantage of seed dispersal service provided by native birds?
(Springer, 2016-03)
Mechanisms underlying biological invasion of highly disturbed ecosystems are well known, yet mechanisms responsible for biological invasion of undisturbed or weakly disturbed ecosystems are less understood. The triggering ...
