A movement ecology paradigm for unifying organismal movement research (2008, background): “For example, long-distance movements of various organisms (21, 25, 46) can greatly impact the spatial dynamics of local populations and communities, driving species’ responses to fragmentation (47), playing a key role in species invasions, responses to climate change, and other global concerns (48).”
Dispersal, demography and spatial population models for conservation and control management (2008, background): “However, the spatial component (e.g. longdistance dispersal) of species dynamics in a landscape cannot be ignored when management problems are investigated (With, 2002; Trakhtenbrot et al., 2005).”
Long‐distance dispersal research: building a network of yellow brick roads (2005, background): “Trakhtenbrot et al. (2005) reviewed the topic and clarified the relative importance of LDD for major conservation issues.”
Recent advances in the study of long‐distance dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via birds (2005, background): “Nevertheless, their capacity to disperse invasive species makes the need to control the importation and release of exotic species all the more urgent (see also Trakhtenbrot et al., 2005).”
Who dispersed the seeds? The use of DNA barcoding in frugivory and seed dispersal studies (2014, methodology): “Developing non-invasive methods that allow for robust identification of the frugivore species contributing dispersed seeds collected in the field would open new research avenues for frugivory and seed dispersal studies, thereby allowing the link between the removal/departure (frugivory) and arrival…”
Effects of canopy heterogeneity, seed abscission and inertia on wind‐driven dispersal kernels of tree seeds (2008, background): “L models are computer-intensive and cannot be applied for long-term large-scale problems for which LDD plays a major role (Neilson et al. 2005; Trakhtenbrot et al. 2005).”
A documented amphibian decline over 40 years: Possible causes and implications for species recovery (2007, background): “Other studies have also indicated that traffic mortality can have a significant effect on the local density and distribution of anurans (Fahrig et al., 1995; Vos and Chardon, 1998; Hels and Buchwald, 2001) and urodeles (Marsh et al., 2004).”
Seed banks of invasive Australian Acacia species in South Africa: Role in invasiveness and options for management (2008, background): “Longdistance dispersal is crucial for rapid expansion and population growth of invasive plants (review in Trakhtenbrot et al., 2005).”
Non-native plant invasions of United States National Parks (2009, background): “These factors increase the potential for long distance dispersal of non-native plants seeds (Trakhtenbrot et al. 2005) across national park boundaries.”
Targeting and evaluating biodiversity conservation action within fragmented landscapes: an approach based on generic focal species and least-cost networks (2010, background): “While habitat preference and area requirements are relatively straightforward to parameterise, maximum dispersal distance is notoriously difficult to model or measure (Bullock and Clarke 2000; Trakhtenbrot et al. 2005).”
Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species (2016, background): “If waterbirds play such an important role as vectors in the dispersal of plant species, this should be taken into account in both plant and waterbird population management and conservation strategies, from local to continental scales (cf. Amezaga, Santamaria & Green 2002; Trakhtenbrot et al. 2005; V”
Modeling population connectivity by ocean currents, a graph-theoretic approach for marine conservation (2007, background): “…Duke University, Box 90328, Durham, NC 27708, USA L. F. Pratson Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences, Old Chem, Duke University, Box 90227, Durham NC 27708, USA currents, often over great distances (Scheltema 1986; Shanks et al. 2003; Kinlan et al. 2005; Trakhtenbrot et al. 2005).”
