Simple mechanistic traits outperform complex syndromes in predicting avian dispersal distances.

Abstract excerpt

Dispersal is a fundamental ecological and evolutionary process, but identifying its determinants and predicting it across species remains a major challenge. Dispersal syndromes, which describe patterns of covariation among traits related to dispersal, are thought to capture general rules of dispersal evolution and its ecological consequences. Based on the most comprehensive empirical dispersal dataset available...
