Because dispersal is multicausal, identifying general drivers remains challenging. In a coordinated distributed experiment spanning organisms from protozoa to vertebrates, we tested whether two fundamental determinants of local dynamics, top-down and bottom-up control, generally explain active dispersal. We show that both factors consistently increased emigration rates and use metacommunity modelling to highlight consequences on local and regional dynamics.}, data_doi = {https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1344579}, doi = {10.1038/s41559-018-0686-0}, preprint_doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1101/213256}, }
