1. Seed dispersal is of high applied relevance as it governs colonization processes in rare species and during plant invasions. Seed tracking is a powerful approach to analysing dispersal processes ...

Over the millions of years life has been on this planet, there has always been an advantage for species to spread their representation as far and wide as possible to ensure its survival in case of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Patterns of capsule development and methods of seed dispersal are described and compared for 16 neotropical species of Dalechampia. In 15 ...

Three species of non-photosynthetic plants rely mainly on camel crickets to disperse their seeds. Three species of non-photosynthetic plants rely mainly on camel crickets to disperse their seeds, ...

Space plays a pivotal role in the understanding of most evolutionary and ecological processes 1. Dispersal behavior—that is, the way individuals move across landscapes and induce gene flow among ...

Since plants do not have muscles; rapid movements, like the exploding seed pods of popping cress, are rare in the plant kingdom. Scientists from different disciplines, led by Angela Hay, a plant ...

Introduction Have you ever looked outside on a windy day and seen "helicopter" seeds spinning through the air? Or picked up a dandelion and blown on it, sending the tiny, fluffy seeds flying all over ...

Scientists have discovered one of the earliest examples of a winged seed, granting insight into the origin and early evolution of wind dispersal strategies in plants. The study, published today as the ...

Drivers of biodiversity loss, such as habitat fragmentation and climate change, are threatening seed dispersal around the globe, a study has warned. Scientists said plant species that were unable to ...

Large animals, such as elephants, play a vital role in a region's seed dispersal network, the team says Drivers of biodiversity loss, such as habitat fragmentation and climate change, are threatening ...
