Long‐distance dispersal research: building a network of yellow brick roads (2005, background): “…LDD in conservation plans for the design of marine reserves and sustainable harvest of exploited fish species (Kinlan et al., 2005), and the control of invasive exotic species (Green & Figuerola, 2005) and regional survival of plants (Soons & Ozinga, 2005) are emphasized in this special issue.”
Slow, but steady: dispersal of freshwater molluscs (2011, background): “The presence and density of migratory birds significantly influences the distribution and diversity of wetland invertebrates (Green and Figuerola 2005 and references therein).”
The role of migratory ducks in the long‐distance dispersal of native plants and the spread of exotic plants in Europe (2009, background): “The duck species studied are capable of making non-stop migratory flights of over 1000 km while carrying seeds within (Clausen et al. 2002, Green and Figuerola 2005).”
Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl (2012, background): “The use of indigestible markers in feeding experiments (e.g. Charalambidou et al., 2005; Figuerola & Green, 2005) may help eliminate the influence of morphological characteristics, although these also have limitations.”
Unintentional dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via footwear and motor vehicles in a Mediterranean wetland area (2010, background): “Main natural vectors known to mediate passive dispersal of aquatic invertebrates are waterfowl (Green and Figuerola, 2005), wind (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008a), amphibians (Bohonak and Whiteman, 1999), aquatic insects (Van de Meutter et al., 2008), mammals (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008b; A.…”
Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species (2016, background): “Dabbling ducks are omnivorous birds that feed extensively on plants and seeds (Cramp & Simmons 1977; Hughes & Green 2005).”
Five Potential Consequences of Climate Change for Invasive Species (2008, background): “Hurricanes sometimes carry birds, marine larvae, and insects considerable distances from their native range (Richardson & Nemeth 1991; Michener et al. 1997; Green & Figuerola 2005), for example, and hurricanes may become more frequent or intense under climate change (IPCC 2007).”
The role of metacommunity processes in shaping invertebrate rock pool communities along a dispersal gradient (2007, background): “Adults, eggs or resting stages of aquatic invertebrates sometimes also hitchhike with other animals: e.g. zooplankton with waterfowl (reviewed by Green and Figuerola 2005), fairy shrimps with salamanders (Bohonak and Whiteman 1999) and aquatic mites with flying insects (Bilton et al. 2001).”
Travelling through a warming world: climate change and migratory species. (2009, background): “Migratory species can also be important in aiding the dispersal of (alien) plants and invertebrates (Green & Figuerola 2005), or in spreading zoonotic diseases, such as chytridiomycosis (Pounds et al. 2006), or avian influenza (Olsen et al. 2006; though not, apparently, the recently evolved H5N1…”
The importance of long‐distance dispersal in biodiversity conservation (2005, background): “Most importantly, it determines to a large extent the rate of population spread (Kot et al., 1996; Clark, 1998; Turchin, 1998; Shigesada & Kawasaki, 2002; Levin et al., 2003; Green & Figuerola, 2005).”
Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: A review and perspective (2016, background): “Among waterbirds, the frequency and scale of long-distance dispersal events is known to vary with the vector’s morphology, to depend on the migratory strategy and to scale negative with body mass (Green and Figuerola, 2005; Viana et al., 2013b; Viana et al., 2013a).”
Hierarchical zooplankton metacommunities: distinguishing between high and limiting dispersal mechanisms (2009, background): “Dispersal of zooplankton and/or their ephippia between rock pools and/or bluffs might occur through wind (Brendonck & Riddoch, 1999; Caceres & Soluk, 2002), overflowing of pools during spring melt or periods of high rainfall, waterbirds (Green & Figuerola, 2005), and/ or mammals.”
Ecology of the invasive Asian clam Corbicula fluminea (Müller, 1774) in aquatic ecosystems: an overview (2008, background): “This kind of natural transportation may have a fundamental importance in the magnitude of secondary introductions (Figuerola & Green 2002, Green & Figuerola 2005).”
