Sentence examples for poor dispersal from inspiring English sources

How to survive 10,000 years without dispersers or with poor dispersal services?

Wet conditions further contributed to poor dispersal as it was noted that many soggy infructescences failed to disperse their seeds (C. L. Gross, unpubl. data).

Our data suggests that lichen species with poor dispersal abilities may be more sensitive to habitat loss than more easily dispersed species and that species with broader habitat amplitude may be less sensitive to habitat loss than more specialized species, even if they have inferior dispersal ability.

The poor dispersal ability of F. ceranoides certainly plays a role; fucoid algae lack planktonic dispersive stages and therefore F. ceranoides individuals typically complete their entire life-cycle within the discrete, isolated patches of the estuarine habitat they inhabit.

In turn, this leads to a loss of biodiversity, especially if species have poor dispersal abilities.

The improvements were largest for eucalypts, which have poor dispersal ability and clustered distributions.

Indeed many of these taxa more resemble Oncomelania than Tricula, but it is the distribution of the Triculinae which is key because triculine snails show much poorer dispersal capabilities.

Most studies of landscape effects on plants in forests have explored only relatively small landscape scales (size of spatial extent) considering the poor-dispersal ability generally reported for forest plants, or failed to verify confidently that the scales at which landscape is considered best predicts plant patterns.

The reason for this prediction is that a trade-off frequently occurs between competition and dispersal ability (Tilman 1990), such that the loss of poor dispersers also could mean the loss of competitors with strong effects on community structure.

These studies suggest that over ocean dispersal in lizards is possible but rare, and these relatively poor dispersing abilities facilitate speciation in the absence of recent gene flow.

In fact, hurricanes may create numerous dispersal/colonization opportunities, especially for the organisms with poor active dispersal abilities140,145.
