Sentence examples for surface dispersal from inspiring English sources

The colonization of each individual species did not show a gradual influx from the bordering dikes at both sides of the deposit, but a fast colonization over the whole width, presumably by surface dispersal, although at low and variable numbers, followed by a gradual increase of population numbers.

Subterranean species are known to be able to colonize all kinds of underground compartments [ 58- 60], but, despite the physiological limitations, some amount of surface dispersal must have also occurred at some time in some taxa with already a high degree of troglomorphism, as shown by recent phylogenetic contributions [ 9, 12, 61].

Although it is not known with certainty how the spores are dispersed, they may disperse passively in the water, or a mature spore-containing fruit body may float on the water surface for dispersal.

CIRCUITSCAPE-based resistance surfaces predict dispersal routes based on predicted cost of travel.

Though the lake was a wondrous setting for the music, water is not the most conducive surface for sound dispersal.

Spatial processes of seed dispersal, surface water fluxes depending on topographic convergence, and fire spread are used to accurately simulate landscape heterogeneity.

Investigations into the fundamental interactions between bacteria and mineral surfaces are critical for understanding the intricacies of interfacial biochemistry, biofilm formation, bacterial recognition of mineral surfaces, and the dispersal of microorganisms in the environment.

Animations of larval movement near the Gascoyne canyon CMR, dispersal surfaces over depth and time for CMRs and Key Ecological Features in the northwest, as well as matrices of connectivity values among CMRs are shown.

Ahn et al. [17] observed CHF improvements ranging from 17.63 % to 55.78 % on nanostructures and nano/microstructures and analyzed the different CHF enhancement ratios on surfaces where capillary dispersal occurred, by combining Kandlikar's wetting consideration and the capillary spreading rate effect.

Using the SHFI as a dispersal resistance surface and applying a circuit theory based approach, we analyzed the effects of cumulative human impact on habitat connectivity in the different scenarios.

We present a new model for jaguar (Panthera onca) conservation that uses a geographic information system (GIS) and expert input to create a dispersal cost surface and identify least-cost corridors connecting the 90 known populations across the jaguar's range.
