• Spatio-temporal dynamics of plant invasions: Linking pattern to process (2005, background): “…tail Plant dispersal has been addressed using a variety of theoretical approaches, including reaction-diffusion, integrodifference, random-walk, and simulation models, leading to a rich theory for estimating rates of spread (reviewed in Higgins & Richardson, 1996; With, 2002; Higgins et al., 2003).”
• How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds (2015, background): “Conversely, the seeds of flowering plants show morphologies that have often been considered favouring dispersal, even though Higgins et al. (2003) found that the relationship between morphologically defined dispersal syndrome and long-distance dispersal is quite poor.”
• Modelling local and long‐distance dispersal of invasive emerald ash borer Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera) in North America (2006, background): “Other non-indigenous species that spread via stratified dispersal include molluscs (Bossenbroek et al ., 2001), other insects (Sharov et al ., 2002; Gilbert et al ., 2003) and plants (Higgins et al ., 2003).”
• Measuring plant dispersal: an introduction to field methods and experimental design (2006, background): “Some long-distance dispersal may be caused by unusual processes (Higgins et al. 2003), but much is simply the extremity of standard types of dispersal (Nathan et al.”
• Life‐history traits are correlated with geographical distribution patterns of western European forest herb species (2007, background): “…long-distance dispersal by migrating birds or mammals or by extreme weather events, such as severe windstorms (Cain et al., 1998; Pakeman, 2001; Higgins et al., 2003); such rare events leading to long-distance dispersal are believed to have been of critical importance in the northward…”
• How do islands become green (2015, background): “…are commonly categorized into LDD syndromes according to the dispersal vectors to which they are particularly well adapted (Hughes et al., 1994), thus reflecting the process which is most likely to move the majority of seeds, i.e. the standard dispersal mechanism (sensu Higgins et al., 2003).”
• An experimental assessment of seed adhesivity on animal furs (2004, background): “Dispersal of plant seeds in the fur of animals (epizoochory) is presumed to be one of the key factors in historical and actual long-distance seed transport, but is far from being fully understood (Bonn and Poschlod, 1998; Higgins and Richardson, 1999; Higgins et al., 2003).”
• Propagule dispersal and the scales of marine community process (2005, background): “There are at least two senses in which the term LDD has been applied (Cain et al., 2000; Higgins et al., 2003).”
• The importance of long‐distance dispersal in biodiversity conservation (2005, background): “Habitat fragmentation can break down movement processes, one of the reasons being that the matrix between patches often impedes movement (e.g. Richardson et al., 2000a; Ricketts, 2001; Higgins et al., 2003b); and negatively affect source strength, influencing both short and long-distance dispersal.”
• Long‐distance dispersal research: building a network of yellow brick roads (2005, background): “Higgins et al. (2003) reached a similar conclusion for terrestrial plants, demonstrating substantial disparity between the mechanisms inferred from seed morphology, which mediate the short-distance dispersal of most seeds, and the ‘nonstandard’ mechanisms that actually drive LDD. Kinlan et al.…”
• The Ecology and Evolution of Seed Dispersal: A Theoretical Perspective (2003, background): “In fact, the actual processes responsible for long-distance dispersal (LDD) are only loosely correlated with those interpreted from seed morphology (Higgins et al. 2003).”
• Projecting climate change impacts on species distributions in megadiverse South African Cape and Southwest Australian Floristic Regions: Opportunities and challenges (2009, background): “In the CFR and SWAFR habitat fragmentation can also affect the fecundity of species and opportunities for recruitment thereby further reducing species migration capacity (Donaldson et al. 2002; Hobbs & Yates 2003; Higgins et al. 2003c; Yates & Ladd 2005; Yates et al. 2007).”
• Spatiotemporal dynamics of recruitment in Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Miller) (2004, background): “The process of dispersal is affected by multiple factors (Chambers and MacMahon 1994; Higgins et al. 2003 ) and is also characterized by substantial spatiotemporal variation (Schupp and Fuentes 1995; Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000).”
