Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal …

Propagule dispersal beyond local scales has been considered rare and unpredictable.
However, for many plants, invertebrates, and microbes dispersed by birds, long-distance …

Sphagnum magellanicum has been viewed as being a predominantly circumpolar species
in the northern hemisphere, but it occurs in the southern hemisphere and was originally …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) promotes the colonization of isolated and remote habitats,
and thus it has been proposed as a mechanism for explaining the distributions of many …

Correlations between transequatorial migratory bird routes and bipolar biogeographic
disjunctions in bryophytes suggest that disjunctions between northern and southern high …

Aim Many intercontinental disjunctions, especially among spore‐producing plants, are
shaped by long‐distance dispersal (LDD) via wind currents. Amphitropical disjunctions are …

Biological soil crusts (BSCs) consist of a diverse and highly integrated community of
organisms that effectively colonize and collectively stabilize soil surfaces. BSCs vary in …

A bipolar disjunction is an extreme, yet common, biogeographic pattern in non-vascular
plants, yet its underlying mechanisms (vicariance or long-distance dispersal), origin and …

Abstract Aim Disjunctly distributed peatmosses (Sphagnum) have been found to exhibit little
genetic structure over regional and intercontinental scales, mainly caused by high ability for …

Animal dispersal influences the community structure and diversity of a wide variety of plant
taxa, yet the potential effects of animal dispersal in bryophytes (hornworts, liverworts, and …
