Effects of climatic and social factors on dispersal strategies of alien species across China

, 2020
Determination of dispersal strategies of alien species and its relationship with social and climatic factors are essential to understand the mechanisms of species invasion and adaption. Based on morphological trait, dispersal mode, and dispersal agent of

Seed dispersal syndromes in the rain forest of Chiloe: evidence for the importance of biotic dispersal in a temperate rain forest [PDF]

, 1989
The dispersal syndromes of 72 species from the temperate rain forest of Chiloe were analysed and compared with data for other temperate forests in New Zealand and New Jersey, and for dry, moist and wet neotropical forests. In Chiloe, ornithochory was the

Successional trajectories of seed dispersal mode and seed size of canopy tree species in wet tropical forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Despite the critical role of seed dispersal for tree colonization during forest succession in wet tropical forests, successional trajectories of seed dispersal modes are poorly documented at the community level.

Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Evidence for regional aeolian transport of freshwater micrometazoans in arid regions

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2018
While separated by large expanses of dry terrain unsuitable for aquatic biota, aridland waters possess high biodiversity. How aquatic micrometazoans disperse to, and colonize, these isolated ephemeral habitats are not well understood.

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 2053-2076, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Tree seed dispersal modes affect forest resilience along savanna-forest boundaries

Environmental Research Letters
The effects of global changes on tropical forests and savannas are manifested primarily at their boundaries. The dynamics at these forest-savanna boundaries depend on their shapes, which influence the spread of fires through the savanna landscape.

Paleocene wind-dispersed fruits and seeds from Colombia and their implications for early Neotropical rainforests

Acta Palaeobotanica, 2014
Extant Neotropical rainforests are well known for their remarkable diversity of fruit and seed types. Biotic agents disperse most of these disseminules, whereas wind dispersal is less common.
