Sentence examples for size dispersal from inspiring English sources

If these large individuals are more likely to disperse, or if dispersal is a strong determinant of growth rate and size, dispersal restrictions will elicit a strong negative population response, potentially leading to local extinction.

Seeds were assigned to categories according to their size, dispersal mode, and shade tolerance.

Significant differences were observed for effects of patch size, dispersal distance, NPP conditions and all two- and three-way interactions on patterns of net emigration.

The column height is derived from literature sources, where the column height is either determined from direct observations of historical eruptions, or estimated through application of the Carey and Sparks (1986) maximum clast size dispersal model.

Estimated column heights (in km) are determined either from direct observations for some historical eruptions, or by using the maximum clast size dispersal method of Carey and Sparks (1986).

Similarly, Schurr et al. [27] showed that for seeds of a given size, dispersal on the ground increases with wind speed and decreases with obstacle density.

While genetic drift causes random fluctuations of allelic frequencies and loss of genetic diversity through time as a function of effective population size, dispersal-mediated gene flow can buffer these effects in local populations.

Modifying all of these parameters (i.e., corridor configuration, number of propagules, population sizes, dispersal parameters, and number of generations) resulted in quantitative but not qualitative changes to the presented analyses.

Megafaunal fruits allow plants to circumvent the trade-off between seed size and dispersal by relying on frugivores able to disperse enormous seed loads over long-distances.

For each of the taxa in each of the categories above, thallus size and dispersal unit size ranges (as determined from the literature) were plotted to assess patterns associated with dispersal category.

The preponderance of ethnic Moroccans under surveillance in the Spanish, French and Belgium antiterror operations reflects not only the size and dispersal of Moroccan immigrants across Europe, but also the intense disaffection of a growing fraction of young, mostly unemployed Moroccans who are vulnerable to the call to radicalism.
