Sentence examples for which dispersal from inspiring English sources

We found that males but not females with colour traits that reflect relatively more pheomelanic feather pigmentation were more likely to disperse, consistently with observations on the only other species for which dispersal in relation to plumage melanic coloration has so far been studied.

Few cases are known in which dispersal behaviors are color-specific, independently of the survival rate of dispersing individuals.

While theoretically feasible for cultivated rice, this is much more difficult for rice CWRs, for which dispersal is conditioned by natural processes.

Hence, the degree to which dispersal relaxed competition among siblings was investigated directly with respect to the effect on the evolved dispersal rate.

The new challenges for biogeography lie in the understanding of little-explored areas, such as the marine realm (Barber and Bellwood 2006), or of small-size (microscopic) organisms such as protists, mosses, or lichens, for which dispersal is assumed to be rampant (Fontaneto 2012).

BP size is important only in that the BP must be big enough to have total kinetic energy sufficiently higher than the CP-surface adhesion energy, but at the same time smaller than a critical size at which dispersal of removed CPs is inhibited by the atoms or molecules emitted during breakup of the BP.

There are two crucial factors which determine dispersal success: the species' dispersal ability and its opportunities to "catch" a dispersal agent.

RASP detected 17 vicariance, 36 dispersal, and 7 extinction events in the whole phylogenetic demography, suggesting a complicatedbiogeographical history in which vicariance, dispersal, and vicariance + dispersal played critical roles in shaping the current distribution in P. amabilis species complex.

In Medicago truncatula, short distance seed dispersal can occur (JR, pers. observation) but the fruits bear spikes which facilitate dispersal by animals (grazing mammals) potentially over longer distances.

Our results indicate that life-history characteristics, which include dispersal characters, are important for explaining the species scarcity in younger stands.

In Theorem 5, we have presented the stability criterion for a predator-prey model in which the dispersal rate (a_{kh}(t)) is time-varying for any (k,hinmathbb{L}).
