Dispersal costs can be classified into energetic, time, risk and opportunity costs and may be
levied directly or deferred during departure, transfer and settlement. They may equally be …

Summary 1 I synthesize the understanding of the relationship between landscape structure
and animal movement in human‐modified landscapes. 2 The variety of landscape structures …

Movement is a fundamental process of all organisms that has strong consequences for
individual fitness, gene flow, natural selection, adaptation, population persistence …

Connectivity plays a crucial role in determining the spread, viability, and persistence of
populations across space. Dispersal across landscapes, or the movement of individuals or …

Explaining and predicting animal movement in heterogeneous landscapes remains
challenging. This is in part because movement paths often include a series of short …

The origin of fractal patterns is a fundamental problem in many areas of science. In
ecological systems, fractal patterns show up in many subtle ways and have been interpreted …

Both genetic cohesion among local populations of animals and range expansion depend on
the frequency of dispersers moving at an interpatch scale. Animal movement has an …

Climate change and habitat destruction are widely recognized as major threats to species'
survival. As a result of these anthropogenic impacts, species are often forced into novel …

Summary 1 The ecological footprint of a road may extend for several kilometres with
overlapping effects from neighbouring roads causing a nonlinear accumulation of road …

Background Dispersal between habitat patches is a key process in the functioning of (meta)
populations. As distance between suitable habitats increases, the ongoing process of …
