These aerially dispersed pathogens present new challenges to forest managers due to their rapid dispersal across the landscape and impact on ecological and economic significant tree species.
The rapid dispersal of the material indicated that it was in small particles easily transported in the air.
This has resulted in a rapid dispersal and expansion of the mud crab populations after its initial invasion18,19.
If patch dynamics does not kill you, it stimulates adaptation to a dynamic habitat landscape which selects for rapid dispersal.
But the experts found that a much wider and more rapid dispersal of burning jet fuel in the north tower may explain why dozens of people on floors below the plane impact died in that building.
In their report, the discoverers said, "The Dmanisi site suggests a rapid dispersal from Africa into the Caucasus via the Levantine corridor, apparently followed by a much later colonization of adjacent European areas".
In addition, air from above the foliage induces rapid dispersal of settled aphid colonies, behaviour similar to that of aphids exposed to the aphid alarm pheromone, (E -β-farnesene1 4.
Alternatively, scholars have focused on reliable coastal resources as providing adaptive corridors for a rapid dispersal around the Indian Ocean, through Southeast Asia, and into Australia4,5, and also into the Americas38.
Under conditions like those observed – rapid dispersal and good mixing – a single measurement device alone can provide valuable information for an ENP exposure assessment.
The tidally-induced flow reversal suggests that periodic high tide conditions can interfere with rapid dispersal of pollution discharges, such as from the combined sewer overflow (CSO) located upstream of the studied creek reach.
