The phrase "amount of dispersal" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the extent or degree to which something is spread out or distributed, often in scientific or environmental contexts.
Example: "The amount of dispersal of the seeds is crucial for understanding the plant's reproductive success."
Alternatives: "degree of dispersal" or "extent of dispersal".
For the 'small' amount of dispersal, juveniles had a higher probability of not dispersing and a lower probability of travelling large distances compared to juveniles with a 'large' amount of dispersal.
In coevolving cuckoo-host interactions in general, at least a minimum amount of dispersal might be important for introducing new variation to cuckoo populations because selection is stabilizing on average.
Prey populations can survive in colonized patches without predators, in a source-sink dynamic [ 2], which in our system suggests the importance of local factors combined with a moderate amount of dispersal.
A small amount of dispersal is always necessary for cooperative strategies to spread in a population and so that the burden of increased competition is not exclusively among kin.
With a moderate amount of dispersal or distance between patches, resident populations undergo repeated extinctions and colonization, local species diversity increases, and communities close together tend towards a high degree of similarity [ 4].
Dispersal by males appears to have the same effect as no dispersal on population persistence.Dispersal does have modest effects on GSD populations when females disperse, but the effects differ between the small and large amounts of dispersal.
'Small' and 'large' amounts of dispersal had three separate sex-based tendencies, i.e. male only, female only and two-sex dispersal.
However, even tiny amounts of dispersal between communities (corresponding to 0.009% of total volume) were sufficient to make these communities more similar to one another.
In this limit, any home-range size other than zero is always greater than the reserve size and persistence is driven by adult movement (Equation 15) irrespective of the amount of larval dispersal.
These results indicate that there is a limited amount of ongoing dispersal among subspecies.
The small amount of female dispersal bolsters populations at the edges of the range.
