🎇 Patch dynamics seem to mirror directly informed dispersal decisions unravelled at the individual level in colonial species. So best not to ignore dispersal mechanisms nor neighbouring patches when investigating population dynamics!

✅ We found patch dynamics depend on the size and/or breeding success of neighbouring colonies. Spatial scales at which colonies influence each other and local/neighbour interactions cannot be explained by neutral demographic processes, rather indicating social information use in dispersal decisions.

Ever wondered how informed dispersal can manifest itself at the population level? 👀 Here are some hints from a spatially structured population of black-headed gulls: doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Social cues from neighboring patches influence patch dynamics in a spatially structured population of a colonial bird
The dynamics of spatially structured populations (SSPs) depend on dispersal movements between habitat patches. Individual-level studies show that dispersal can be informed by social cues about habita...

2nd chapter of my PhD just published in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/2041... Another step towards linking animal migration and population dynamics using integrated modelling! The secret lies in a neat equation relating survival and transition probabilities between migratory regions

An integrative framework to combine migratory connectivity and demographic data
Migratory species experience various conditions and events throughout their annual cycle that influence their spatial and demographic dynamics. To understand these dynamics, it is essential to des...
