NatureThe genetic legacy of the Quaternary ice ages
7,251 Citations2000Godfrey M. Hewitt
The present genetic structure of populations, species and communities has been mainly formed by Quaternary ice ages, and genetic, fossil and physical data combined can greatly help understanding of how organisms were so affected.
HeredityIndirect measures of gene flow and migration: FST≠1/(4Nm+1)
1,554 Citations1999Michael C. Whitlock, David E. McCauley
It is rare that FST can be translated into an accurate estimate of Nm, the number of migrants successfully entering a population per generation, and the mathematical model underlying this translation makes many biologically unrealistic assumptions.
American Journal of BotanyLong‐distance seed dispersal in plant populations
1,178 Citations2000Michael L. Cain, Brook G. Milligan +1 more
It is argued that genetic methods provide a broadly applicable way to monitor long-distance seed dispersal and, hence, that better data is needed from the tails of seeds that travel long distances.
EcologyDEMOGRAPHY AND DISPERSAL: CALCULATION AND SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF INVASION SPEED FOR STRUCTURED POPULATIONS
621 Citations2000Michael G. Neubert, Hal Caswell
A discrete-time model for biological invasions is constructed that couples matrix population models (for population growth) with integrodifference equa- tions (for dispersal), and it is found that, when dispersal contains both long- and short-distance components, it is the long-distance component that governs the invasion speed-even when long- distance dispersal is rare.
NatureSpatial synchronization of vole population dynamics by predatory birds
272 Citations2000Rolf A. Ims, Harry P. Andreassen
Results from two field studies in southeastern Norway are combined—one identifies local demographic mechanisms and landscape-level annual synchrony among 28 enclosed experimental populations and the other examines region-level multi-annual synchrony in open natural populations.
Ecology LettersSource–sink dynamics: how sinks affect demography of sources
139 Citations2001Gry Gundersen, Edda Johannesen +2 more
A study on experimental root vole populations, where estimates of demographic parameters were contrasted between source patches in source–sink (treatment) and source–source systems (control), where source-patch populations failed to increase over the breeding season due to a high spatially density-dependent dispersal rate from source to sink patches.
NatureCompensation for wind drift by bumble-bees
99 Citations1999J. R. Riley, Don R. Reynolds +5 more
Wind compensation is investigated with much greater precision by using radar, to record the flight trajectories of individual bumble-bees foraging over arable farmland, finding that some bees overcompensated slightly, but most stayed on course byheading partly into the wind and moving obliquely over the ground.
