Cryptic Dispersal Networks Connect Habitat Patches in ways not Captured by Distance

Rachel M. Germain, Natalie T. Jones, Tess N. Grainger

The paper examines how different dispersal modes affect landscape connectivity and finds that dispersal limitation is not captured by distance-based measures but emerges when considering dispersal-specific connectivity forms.
