Assisted colonization practitioners consider helping the species disperse into such sites, which are often immediately adjacent to the species' historical range.

They may stay with the mother for several months before setting off to establish their own burrows, although some species disperse as soon as they are weaned.

Terrestrial species may even have dispersed seeds for small bushes in addition to tall trees.

Consequently, these species have short pelagic larval durations and do not disperse long distances.

Like most other plant feeding mites, this species disperses on the wind.

Other species move much shorter distances and may simply disperse along the coasts near their breeding sites.

Recent reports have revealed that this species has dispersed as far as California.

Other species, such as some of the storm petrels, diving petrels and cormorants, never disperse at all, staying near their breeding colonies year round.

The sexual reproduction produces resting eggs that allow the species to survive harsh conditions and disperse to distant habitats.
