Resumen:
In this paper we explore the consequences of long distance dispersal in biological invasion
processes through simulations using a recently developed cellular automaton model. We show
that long distance dispersal generate characteristic spatial patterns with several stationary
scale-invariant properties. In particular, the patterns display a main patch around the focus
of spread, with a fractal border structure whose fractal dimension contains information about
the main statistical properties of the dispersal mechanism. Our results are in agreement with
.eld data of spread of invaders with long distance dispersal mechanisms.
