The phrase "age dispersal" is not commonly used in written English and may not be widely understood.
It could be used in contexts discussing the distribution of age groups within a population or demographic study.
Example: "The research focused on age dispersal within urban areas, highlighting the varying age demographics across different neighborhoods."
Alternatives: "age distribution" or "age spread".
To assess the consequences of fire management and fragmentation on fire regimes and forest communities, we simulated forest landscape change using LANDIS-II, a stochastic, spatially dynamic forest succession model that simulates the growth of tree species cohorts (defined by species and age), dispersal and colonization, and mortality.
We report the overall number of infections, the number of infections occurring in males and females, and the number of deaths occurring due to age, dispersal risk, and infection.
A comprehensive sensitivity analysis evaluated the influence of uncertain demographic rates and of aspects of the spatial dynamics (sex and age dispersing individuals, sex-biased dispersal and different dispersal rates) on the predicted extinction risks and showed that our model was robust to changes of a wide range of combinations assessed.
Decisions to disperse are based on male macaque age, with dispersal occurring between the ages of six and eight.
We simulated 6 recreational harvest scenarios with varying rates and timings of harvest and assessed effects on population size, pack sizes, age ratios, dispersal and immigration rates, and breeding pair tenures of the Wisconsin wolf population.
Although the body of information on the biology of bathyergids in their natural habitats is constantly growing, we still know relatively little about the exact age composition, dispersal patterns and subdivision of labour in wild-ranging mole-rat families.
Even though the fine-scaled effects of age on dispersal behaviour require further investigation, it can occur in the common lizards across all life stages.
Among the set of models testing for the effects of sex, age and dispersal status, five models, all including an age effect, were retained as the most plausible (0 < ΔAICc < 2).
Subadult leopards start exploratory movements independent of their mother at about 13 months of age, and dispersal typically takes place at 15 19 months of age (Sunquist 1983; Seidensticker et al. 1990).
Among the whole set of models assessing the effect of sex, age and dispersal status on variation in exploration rates (hypothesis 1, Table 2), the models logit(dexp) = age, logit(dexp) = age + sex and logit(dexp) = age + disp, were retained as the most plausible, as their AICc weights summed to 75% and they did not differ by more than 2 AICc points from the higher ranked model.
Delayed maturation and age-biased dispersal work in concert under past selection to maximize individual fitness and contribute to population viability; however, these life history attributes can become dysfunctional in a dynamic, anthropogenic landscape when important population demographics cannot redistribute in response to novel landscape change.
