[+ of] Collocations: dispersal pattern This dispersal pattern can also occur due to infiltration and migration to empty breeding sites. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 Additionally, a single species may have multiple dispersal patterns. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 The species with shorter dispersal patterns are more likely to be affected by local changes such as habitat disruption and global warming effects. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 However, diffusion equations do not as easily allow for the inclusion of explicit dispersal patterns and are only biologically accurate for populations with overlapping generations. Retrieved from Wikipedia CC BY-SA 3.0 Fragmentation increased decomposition and reduced antbird predation, while selective logging consistently increased pollination, seed dispersal and army-ant raiding. 2011, 'Forest fragmentation and selective logging have inconsistent effects on multiple animal-mediated ecosystem processes in a tropical forest.', PLoS ONE We develop a multi-species mechanistic model of seed dispersal based on frugivore behavioural responses to landscape heterogeneity. 2013, 'Frugivore behavioural details matter for seed dispersal: a multi-species model for cantabrian thrushes and trees.', PLoS ONE Increased allocation to stem in large-sized individuals favours the hygrochastic seed dispersal role in the plant. 2010, 'Size-class structure and growth traits of Anastatica hierochuntica L. populations as rainfall indicators in aridlands', Journal of Advanced Research This study contributes to knowledge about the modes of seed dispersal in seminatural grasslands. 2016, 'High potential of sub-Mediterranean dry grasslands for sheep epizoochory', Open Life Sciences |
