“…Movement ability within a fragmented landscape can be influenced by a species' behavioural responses to habitat boundaries (Jain et al, 2020;Kallioniemi et al, 2014;Lucey & Hill, 2012), the physical costs of movement (Bonte et al, 2012) and the permeability of the matrix (Ewers & Didham, 2006;Scriven et al, 2017). Furthermore, species-specific life-history traits can impact movement (Ovaskainen et al, 2019). Species most vulnerable to fragmentation are forestdependent taxa (i.e.…”

“…We used mark-release-recapture (MRR) methods, a common technique for the study of insect movement (Gray et al, 2019b;Hanski, 1999;Lewis et al, 1997;Slade et al, 2013) and the newly developed Joint Species Movement Modelling approach (JSMM- Ovaskainen et al, 2019). JSMM allows both species-and communitylevel movement parameters to be estimated simultaneously.…”

1. Fragmentation of tropical forests is increasing globally, with negative impacts for biodiversity. In Southeast Asia, expansion of oil palm agriculture has caused widespread deforestation, forest degradation and fragmentation.2. Persistence of forest-dependent species within these fragmented landscapes is likely to depend on the capacity of individuals to move between forest patches. In oil palm landscapes, riparian buffers along streams and rivers are potential movement corridors, but their use by moving animals is poorly studied.3. We examined how six dung beetle species traversed riparian buffers connected to a continuous forest reserve area within an oil palm plantation in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo. We used a mark-release-recapture study and a new Bayesian Joint Species Movement Modelling (JSMM) approach, extended to a continuous capture process model. 4. Dung beetle species were fairly generalist in their habitat use, but two species showed a statistically supported preference for riparian buffer forest over oil palm, and one species showed a strong preference for forest reserve over riparian buffer, indicating the importance of forested areas within oil palm landscapes for some species. 5. A land-use change simulation indicated that the loss of riparian buffers in oil palm will result in reduced movement by forest-dependent species.6. Synthesis and applications. Our results provide evidence for the use of riparian buffers in oil palm plantations for forest-dependent dung beetle species, strengthening the case for their retention, restoration and re-establishment.

“…To address these limitations, we would suggest the exploration of a multi species modeling approach, where dispersal models are fit to data from a group of species at once, with the models' parameters allowed to vary across species as random effects or based on the values of specific traits. Similar methods have been applied in the animal movement literature (Ovaskainen et al 2019) for the joint movement modeling of bird species.…”

Seed‐to‐seedling transitions exhibit distance‐dependent mortality but no strong spacing effects in a Neotropical forest

Patterns of seed dispersal and seed mortality influence the spatial structure of plant communities and the local coexistence of competing species. Most seeds are dispersed in proximity to the parent tree, where mortality is also expected to be the highest, because of competition with siblings or the attraction of natural enemies. Whereas distance‐dependent mortality in the seed‐to‐seedling transition was often observed in tropical forests, few studies have attempted to estimate the shape of the survival‐distance curves, which determines whether the peak of seedling establishment occurs away from the parent tree (Janzen–Connell pattern) or if the peak attenuates but remains at the parent location (Hubbell pattern). In this study, we inferred the probability density of seed dispersal and two stages of seedling establishment (new recruits, and seedlings 20 cm or taller) with distance for 24 tree species present in the 50‐ha Forest Dynamics Plot of Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Using data from seed traps, seedling survey quadrats, and tree‐census records spanning the 1988–2014 period, we fit hierarchical Bayesian models including parameters for tree fecundity, the shape of the dispersal kernel, and overdispersion of seed or seedling counts. We combined predictions from multiple dispersal kernels to obtain more robust inferences. We find that Hubbell patterns are the most common and Janzen–Connell patterns are very rare among those species; that distance‐dependent mortality may be stronger in the seed stage, in the early recruit stage, or comparable in both; and that species with larger seeds experience less overall mortality and less distance‐dependent mortality. Finally, we describe how this modeling approach could be extended at a community scale to include less abundant species.

“…Another field of great importance is to better understand population dynamics of agricultural pest species and outbreak dynamics (Battisti & Larsson, 2015). One challenge associated with forecasting pest impacts in agricultural landscapes is to link key traits with variables of importance for dispersal, population growth, dynamics and persistence (Ovaskainen et al, 2019;Terblanche, Karsten, Mitchell, Barton, & Gilbert, 2015).…”

A high capacity for long-distance dispersal is a key to success for species confronted with environmental heterogeneity, habitat modification, fragmentation and loss.However, dispersal capacity is difficult to quantify and therefore poorly known in most taxa. Here, we report on a test for an association of variation in dispersal capacity with variable colouration of noctuid moths. First, using data from 12 experienced lepidopterologists, we showed that despite variation among experts in average assessments, different species are consistently classified as having non-variable, variable or highly variable colour patterns when assessed by different experts. We then compared the incidence of non-resident species with high inter-individual variation in colour patterns recorded on the isolated island Utklippan (n = 47), with that in a species pool of potential long-distance dispersers from the nearest mainland (n = 295).Species with high inter-individual colour pattern variation were over-represented on the island compared with species having non-variable colouration. This finding constitutes rare evidence from the wild of long-distance dispersal, measured on a spatial scale relevant for moths when tracking habitats in fragmented and changing landscapes or when keeping pace with environmental challenges associated with climate change. Finally, we showed that Swedish noctuid moths classified as agricultural pests (n = 28) had more variable colour patterns compared with non-pests (n = 368). The majority of agricultural pests were also recorded on the isolated island, an outcome that is indicative of pest species having high dispersal capacity. Data on colour pattern variation may thus offer a simple and cost-effective proxy to estimate dispersal capacity and can also help identify potential pest species. Our findings are potentially useful when modelling and predicting population and range dynamics of species in spatiotemporally heterogeneous environments, with direct implications for conservation biology and pest management.

Virtually, all species are confronted with challenges associated with spatial and temporal environmental heterogeneity, and a high capacity for long-distance dispersal is a key to success in finding new areas, suitable for survival and reproduction.
