Organizers: James Bullock, Robert Kenward, Rosie Hails
Description:
Twenty-two internationally-renowned speakers will present papers on modern techniques of dispersal
measurement, evolution and behavioural ecology of dispersal, dispersal and spatial processes at different scales
and the importance of dispersal in applied ecology. The overall aim of the symposium is to review how dispersal
can be measured and assess the importance of an understanding of dispersal in all areas of ecology. In looking at
plants, invertebrates, vertebrates and microorganisms in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, the symposium
will aim to synthesise approaches and information. It will try to create links between ecological disciplines,
between different areas of theory and between empirical and modelling approaches to dispersal and inform the
most important problems of applied ecology. This symposium and the resulting book will be the first review of
dispersal to encompass all taxa and all areas of ecology.
