The resulting furor, notably in France, where Mr. Polanski holds citizenship, saw the Swiss foreign minister, Micheline Calmy-Rey, take rare public distance from her colleagues, particularly the justice minister, Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, by suggesting the arrest had shown "a lack of tact".
Rare long distance dispersal events impact the demography and the genetic structure of populations.
We conclude that gene dispersal in mangroves is usually limited within estuaries and that coastal geomorphology and rare long distance dispersal events could also influence levels of structure.
We suggest that increasingly rare, long distance founding events by relatively fewer individuals are responsible for this pattern of interisland variation.
Also, dispersal and successful establishment of species, such as ponderosa pine, may occasionally exceed maximum dispersal distances modeled here (e.g., Haire and McGarigal 2010), and incorporating rare, long-distance dispersal events into future models may be important.
The clean-up period – the financial and moral reckoning that can last up to a decade – is when you get to see what a bank and its culture are made of: whether they respond with remorse (rare), with distancing hubris (frequent), or with lavish payouts (always).
The simulation of dispersal processes in landscapes over large spatial extents is challenging because of the large difference in geographical scale between overwhelmingly dominant localised dispersal events, and rare long-distance dispersal events which typically drive overall rates of spread.
Simulations showed that population establishment depended critically on rare long-distance dispersal events while population persistence was achieved by the formation of aggregated species distributions that developed through restricted dispersal and local competitive interactions.
Based on certain assumptions as to the dispersal mechanism, we assess the impact that varying potential for rare long-distance dispersal (LDD) has on the ability to move over landscapes with differing spatial arrangements of suitable habitat (clumped versus fragmented).
Thresher et al. found C. maenas dispersed in Australia mainly by rare long-distance events, possibly caused by human actions.
