Plant species exhibit a variety of mechanisms of seed dispersal. The majority of seeds will be dispersed locally around the maternal parent in relation to the speed and direction of wind for ...

Newly formed tetraploid plants in sympatry with their diploid progenitors should face significant obstacles to persistence and population establishment because of low-fitness triploids formed by cross ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Seed dispersal by animals drives persistence and colonization of the majority of fleshy-fruited plants. Different factors have been identified ...

New, movement models for organisms as diverse as gut bacteria, ants, marine larvae and cheetahs include tree seed dispersal model and animal tracking systems tested in Panama. Feeling threatened?

If you liked this story, share it with other people. Without seed dispersal plants could not survive. Seed dispersal—i.e. birds spreading seeds or wind carrying seeds—means the mechanism by which a ...

We quantified seed dispersal in a guild of Sonoran Desert winter desert annuals at a protected natural field site in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Seed production was suppressed under shrub canopies, in the ...
