Sentence examples for patchy dispersal from inspiring English sources

Low order detonations of high explosive payloads result in the patchy dispersal of particles of high explosive formulations over large areas of firing range soils.

It also presents a strong patchy distribution, philopatric larval dispersal, and both sexual and asexual reproduction.

For our simulation experiments we used an extended version of an individual-based model of insect dispersal in patchy landscapes of 100 habitat patches (n) with carrying capacities K [ 15- 17].

For our simulation experiments we use an extended version of an individual-based model [ 23- 25] of insect dispersal in patchy landscapes of n (= 100) habitat patches with equal carrying capacities K (= 100).

Motivated by this, in the present paper, a class of simple S I R models with susceptibles dispersal in a patchy environment is to be formulated and investigated the stability of the endemic equilibrium by constructing the Lyapunov function (also see [5, 6, 9 11, 13, 14]).

We investigate this hypothesis by simulating varying levels of sex-biased dispersal in a patchy environment.

Similar mating systems appear to be common among other single celled eukaryotes that show cooperative behaviors yet inhabit patchy and ephemeral habitats that favor dispersal [ 48- 50] and may suggest that dispersal polymorphisms also exist in species such as Dictyostelium slime molds.

Their vulnerability is exacerbated by patchy distributions, specialized mutualisms and generally limited dispersal (Schemske et al. 1994; Coates et al. 2006; Pillon and Chase 2007).

We model the population dynamics of Pterostichus melanarius (Coleoptera: Carabidae), a carabid beetle often used as indicator species of habitat changes, by a joint model that combined a matrix model of population dynamics including local dispersal with an explicit model of the patchy landscape of the polders of the Bay of Mont St. Michel (Brittany, France).

In general, small mammals such as rodents have restricted dispersal abilities [ 22- 24] and many display patchy distributions.

A convenient way to describe dispersal strategies between species is to distinguish patchy populations from metapopulations [ 11].
