Seed dispersal characteristics of Brassavola nodosa (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
We used mathematical models for wind‐dispersed seeds and wind‐tunnel experiments to predict modal seed dispersal distance of the Neotropical orchid Brassavola nodosa under conditions approximating those found in its natural habitat: mangrove islands in Belize, Central America.
