New paper in Ecology

Crone et al (2019) Ecology. Faster movement in habitat matrix promotes faster range shifts in heterogeneous landscapes. DOI 10.1002/ecy.2701 Ecologists often assume that range expansion will be fastest in landscapes composed entirely of the highest-quality habitat. Theoretical models, however, show that range expansion depends on both habitat quality and habitat-specific movement rates. Using data from […]

Paper on Evolution of dispersal

Maciel et al (2019) Evolutionarily stable movement strategies in reaction–diffusion models with edge behavior. J Math Biol DOI 10.1007/s00285-019-01339-2 Many types of organisms disperse through heterogeneous environments as part of their life histories. For various models of dispersal, including reaction-advection-diffusion models in continuously varying environments, it has been shown by pairwise invasibility analysis that dispersal […]
