Dispersal Kernel Determines Symmetry of Spread and Geographical Range for an Insect
The distance from a source patch that dispersing insects reach depends on the number of dispersers, or random draws from a probability density function called a dispersal kernel, and the shape of that kernel. This can cause asymmetrical dispersal between habitat patches that produce different number...
