biological dispersal

Therefore, biological dispersal is critical to the stability of ecosystems.

Biological dispersal then takes place as pieces break off and float downstream.

The movement of the caterpillars is the main means of biological dispersal.

Biological dispersal of this species is very limited.

This is the plant's method of biological dispersal.

The resulting cooperative relationship presents another advantage to angiosperms in the process of biological dispersal.

Biological dispersal, the distribution of animals, spores, fruits and their seeds, etc.

Fecundity is high and the juveniles grow fast but biological dispersal is very limited.

The lichen's method of biological dispersal is to have its fragments swept or blown to new locations.

An alternative explanation posits biological dispersal; plants and/or seeds could float across the Pacific without any human contact.

Micro and macroevolutionary processes are needed to determine the effects of biological dispersal of seeds.

Key among these functions are nourishment of the embryo, biological dispersal to a new location, and dormancy during unfavorable conditions.

Ultimately, these switching mechanisms alter genetic alleles for wing characteristics, helping to maintain biological dispersal.

Historically vicariance has been contrasted with biological dispersal as a means of explaining the patterns of distribution among related species.

As a result, plants have evolved many ways to Biological dispersal their offspring by dispersing their seeds (see also vegetative reproduction).

Many important concepts, such as biological dispersal, adaptation and extinction, are better illustrated on these small islands than on the larger ones where most people dwell.

Habitat fragmentation obstructs biological dispersal for these species that rely on vines and lianas to move from tree to tree.

Many cypselas (e.g. dandelion) have calyx tissue attached that functions in biological dispersal of the seed.

Slow lorises have lost a significant amount of habitat, with habitat fragmentation isolating small populations and obstructing biological dispersal.

Oceanic dispersal is a type of biological dispersal that occurs when organisms transfer from one land mass to another by way of a sea crossing.

Some birds and bats that are specialised frugivores tend to eat the whole fruit and regurgitate seeds intact, which functions for Biological dispersal.

Differential cell expression, collective behavior, signaling, programmed cell death, and (in some cases) discrete biological dispersal events all seem to point in this direction.

Additionally, reducing the homogeneity of the crop increases the barriers against biological dispersal of pest organisms through the crop.

After biological dispersal through a constricted (sub-micrometre scale) biological corridor connecting adjacent micro habitat patches, L-form-like cells can be derived.

In biogeography, geodispersal is the erosion of barriers to gene flow and biological dispersal (Lieberman, 2005.; Albert and Crampton, 2010.)
