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 incurred… Expand

• Understanding the dynamics of rhizosphere microbial communities is essential for predicting future ecosystem function, yet most research focuses on either spatial or temporal processes, ignoring… Expand
Idiosyncrasy and overdominance in the structure of natural communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: is there a role for stochastic processes?
- A. Dumbrell, M. Nelson, T. Helgason, C. Dytham, A. Fitter
- Biology

1. Most studies of species abundance patterns focus on conspicuous macroorganisms while microbial communities remain relatively understudied. This bias is a concern given the functional importance… Expand

Most attempts to identify the processes that structure natural communities have focused on conspicuous macroorganisms whereas the processes responsible for structuring microbial communities remain… Expand
The evolution of density–dependent dispersal

- 22 September 1999
Despite a large body of empirical evidence suggesting that the dispersal rates of many species depend on population density, most metapopulation models assume a density–independent rate of dispersal.… Expand
Dispersal evolution during invasions
Species' range expansions in response to climate change, and the invasion of exotic organisms, are two of the most pressing issues in ecology. Range expansions have already been documented in several… Expand

Evolutionary trade-offs between reproduction and dispersal in populations at expanding range boundaries
- C. L. Hughes, J. K. Hill, C. Dytham
- Medicine, Biology
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 7 November 2003
During recent climate warming, some species have expanded their ranges northwards to keep track of climate changes. Evolutionary changes in dispersal have been demonstrated in these expanding… Expand
Evolved dispersal strategies at range margins

- 22 April 2009
Dispersal is a key component of a species's ecology and will be under different selection pressures in different parts of the range. For example, a long-distance dispersal strategy suitable for… Expand
Accelerating invasion rates result from the evolution of density-dependent dispersal.

- 7 July 2009
Evolutionary processes play an important role in shaping the dynamics of range expansions, and selection on dispersal propensity has been demonstrated to accelerate rates of advance. Previous theory… Expand
