Dispersal costs can be classified into energetic, time, risk and opportunity costs and may be
levied directly or deferred during departure, transfer and settlement. They may equally be …

Even though beach nourishment is generally considered as an environment‐friendly option
for coastal protection and beach restoration, sizeable impacts on several beach ecosystem …

Movement of organisms is one of the key mechanisms shaping biodiversity, eg the
distribution of genes, individuals and species in space and time. Recent technological and …

… can decrease the probability of dispersal in spiders (Bonte et al. 2008) and lizards (Massot et
… Bonte, D. et al. 2008. Thermal conditions during juvenile development affect adult dispersal …

Body size is intrinsically linked to metabolic rate and life-history traits, and is a crucial determinant
of food webs and community dynamics 1 , 2 . The increased temperatures associated …

The increasing urbanization process is hypothesized to drastically alter (semi‐)natural
environments with a concomitant major decline in species abundance and diversity. Yet, studies …

Dispersal, the behaviour ensuring gene flow, tends to covary with a number of morphological,
ecological and behavioural traits. While species‐specific dispersal behaviours are the …

… For example, orthologues of a number of candidate genes identified in D. melanogaster
also appear to regulate dispersal in other insects (Wheat, 2012). In plants, orthologues of a …

Climate warming affects the rate and timing of the development in ectothermic organisms.
Short‐living, ectothermic organisms (including many insects) showing thermal plasticity in life‐…

… Developmental temperature also explains a substantial part of the observed individual
variation (Bonte et al. … Recorded ballooning frequencies were similar in both testing designs (D. …
