Connectivity is classically considered an emergent property of landscapes encapsulating
individuals' flows across space. However, its operational use requires a precise …

Knowledge of the ecological and evolutionary causes of dispersal can be crucial in
understanding the behaviour of spatially structured populations, and predicting how species …

All processes take time to complete. While physical processes such as acceleration and
deceleration take little time compared to the times needed to travel most distances, the times …

1. Once neglected, the role of facilitative interactions in plant communities has received
considerable attention in the last two decades, and is now widely recognized. It is timely to …

This review proposes ten tentative answers to frequently asked questions about dispersal
evolution. I examine methodological issues, model assumptions and predictions, and their …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Habitat fragmentation, an important element of current global change, has profound
repercussions on population and species extinction. Landscape fragmentation reduces …

Climate change and habitat destruction are two of the greatest threats to global biodiversity.
Lattice models have been used to investigate how hypothetical species with different …

One of the central problems in contemporary ecology and conservation biology is the drastic
change of landscapes induced by anthropogenic activities, resulting in habitat loss and …

Habitat selection is the disproportionate use of available conditions and resources, and
involves responses in space and time to perceived risks and rewards. It frequently depends …
