Dispersal mode and competition type matter for outcomes of the competition-colonization trade-off

This blog post is provided by Ilia Maria Ferzoco and Shannon McCauley and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Breaking down the components of the competition-colonization trade-off: New insights into its role in diverse systems“, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In their concept paper they explore how dispersal and competition might impact how species compete and coexist, depending on how they … Continue reading Dispersal mode and competition type matter for outcomes of the competition-colonization trade-off

Movement is fundamental to organismal life and constitutes the mechanistic link explaining the patterns observed in many ecological processes. Measures of animal movement, e.g. dispersal, residence time, home range size and overlap, form the basis of fundamental ecology theories and are essential for managing wildlife populations or predicting disease transmission rates. Hence research on the patterns, causes and consequences of the movement of organisms has pervaded … Continue reading Get the BES moving!
