  1. ncbi Reid's paradox revisited: the evolution of dispersal kernels during range expansion
    Benjamin L Phillips
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia
    Am Nat 172:S34-48. 2008
    ..For accurate long-range forecasts of range advance, we need to take into account the potential for dispersal kernels to be evolutionarily dynamic...
  2. ncbi Spatial processes can determine the relationship between prey encounter rate and prey density
    J M J Travis
    NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Hill of Brathens, Banchory, Aberdeenshire, UK

    Justin M J Travis
    Centre for Conservation Science, University of St Andrews, Fife, United Kingdom
    J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 59:301-5. 2004
    ..Within this model, individuals are genetically programmed to die, even though they are still able to reproduce. These results suggest that death can be adaptive and offer an explanation for the evolution of "death genes."..

    Centre for Conservation Science, The Observatory, Buchanan Gardens, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9LZ, UK
    Proc Biol Sci 270:467-73. 2003
    ..The interaction between climate change and habitat loss might be disastrous. During climate change, the habitat threshold occurs sooner. Similarly, species suffer more from climate change in a fragmented habitat...

    Olivia J Burton
    Institute of Biological and Environmental Sciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen AB24 2TZ, United Kingdom
