TL;DR: Investigating potential occurrence of multiple proximate and ultimate causes of dispersal within populations of white-tailed deer found that adaptive inbreeding avoidance dispersal requires greater distance than mate competition dispersal where opposite-sex relatives are philopatric and populations are not patchily distributed.

TL;DR: A high-precision record of atmospheric CO2 δ13C from ice cores and direct atmospheric measurements is used to model modern change in CO2 €13C and estimate a correction factor that reduces bias associated with changes in atmospheric isotopic baseline and facilitates comparison of tissue δ 13C collected over multiple years.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of landscape features on dispersal patterns of a large mammal, such as roads, rivers, mountain ranges, and roads, was investigated in two topographically dissimilar study areas in Pennsylvania, USA.

TL;DR: A consistent conceptual framework for dispersal is suggested, which utilizes generalized gravity models, and is illustrated with examples of passive, active, and vectored dispersal, and point out promising applications, including studies of dispersal mechanisms, total dispersal kernels, and spatial population dynamics.
