Sentence examples for contribution of dispersal from inspiring English sources

Generally, most of the dispersal of demersal fishes is thought to be driven by the transport of eggs and larvae in currents, with the potential contribution of dispersal in later life stages relatively minimal.

However, with a small sample of just six species, we cannot evaluate the contribution of dispersal ability in the overtime persistence of haplotypes.

DIVA is used to infer mainly ancestral distributions and biogeographical events [ 47]; it is an event-based method that optimizes ancestral distributions by assuming a vicariance explanation, while incorporating the potential contributions of dispersal and extinction, despite minimizing these under a parsimony criterion [ 47, 48].

If so, further work will be needed to tease apart the relative contribution of seed dispersal and seed predation to the spatial distribution of seedbanks.

We predicted that the relative contribution of these two dispersal modalities (in-stream and overland) would affect the overall genetic structure.

However, they suggested a large contribution of natural transoceanic dispersal (TOD), for example between Sri Lanka and Africa, and between the Paleotropics and the Neotropics.

The fitness equation takes the form (1) w i = D (n i, y i, z i ) E (n i, y i, z i ) G (n i, y i, z i ), where the functions D and E, respectively, represent the contribution of selection on dispersal and the exploitation of the public good of individual i in group j to its own fitness.

While there are good clinical studies which confirm that conventional balneotherapy is an effective treatment modality in elderly patients with osteoarthritis of the knee or with chronic low back pain [ 36], or can alleviate low back pain [ 37], there is an obvious lack of clinical studies on ODB which address the unique contribution of the oil dispersal in water.

Few economically important species have been studied phylogeographically across their ranges, but even in those cases, the focus has been primarily on putative native populations, assuming (or hoping for) negligible phylogeographic contribution of human-aided dispersal (see Nesbø et al. 1999; Triantafyllidis et al. 2002; Van Houdt et al. 2005).

Our aim was to decompose multispecies metapopulation dynamics into local regulatory processes, the contribution of (host and parasitoid) dispersal and stochasticity.

Thus, the contribution of routine movements to dispersal will vary among (meta populations and is expected to decline with an increasing degree of habitat fragmentation [ 12].
