Seed Dispersal as a Multiphase Process: Integrating Abiotic and Biotic Vectors Across Ecological Gradients. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRaccoon specimen, seed disperser through endozoochory. ABSTRACT Seed dispersal is a dynamic process through which diaspores (seeds or seed‐bearing fruits) are detached from the mother plant, transported to different sites in the landscape that offer physical protection, competitive advantages, or lower predation risk.

The fate of the missing spores [PDF]
, 2012 It is well-known that many species with small diaspores can disperse far during extended temporal scales (many years). However, studies on short temporal scales usually only cover short distances (in, e.g., bryophytes up to 15 m).

Diasporic visitor, diasporic tourist [PDF]
Civilisations, 2008 Les membres de diasporas qui se rendent en visite dans leur pays d’origine eprouvent souvent le sentiment paradoxal d’etre « touristes dans leur propre pays ». Cet article explore ce paradoxe a travers la presentation de donnees ethnographiques concernant des Europeens d’origine marocaine de la generation poste-migrante qui passent leurs vacances d’ete

Diaspore Abundance Promotes more Interaction with Ants in a Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Floresta e Ambiente, 2020 The influence of Guarea guidonia (L.) Sleumer diaspore abundance on ants’ preference was studied in a secondary tropical forest area in Brazil. We offered seeds in stations with different abundances (one, two, five or 10 diaspores) for interactions with ...

Diaspore bank of aquatic macrophytes maintaining species diversity in a Neotropical pond
Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2016 The diaspore bank is an important component of biological diversity acting mainly as storage and source of diaspores, which also indicate dynamics and patterns of maintenance of plant diversity.

The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Diaspore characteristics of 22 families, including 102 genera and 150 species (55 represented by seeds and 95 by fruits) from the Gurbantunggut Desert were analyzed for diaspore biological characteristics (mass, shape, color, and appendage type).

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Seed dispersal is a vital part of a plant’s life cycle that enables progeny to reach new sites suitable for burial and establishment. Awns are characteristic of many grass species and enable diaspores to self-disperse. Little is known, however, about the

Mineralogical and crystallographic characteristics of bauxites from some Grebnik’s (Metohija, Serbia) ore deposits [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2019 Five typical bauxite samples from three ore deposits from the wider area of Grebnik Mt. (Metohija, Serbia) were examined with the optical microscopic, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and chemical methods. The occurrences in bauxites were studied

Environmental drivers of the bryophyte propagule bank and its comparison with forest-floor assemblage in Central European temperate mixed forests [PDF]
, 2016 Species richness, composition and abundance of the bryophyte diaspore bank of Central European temperate mixed forests were compared with the forest-floor bryophyte assemblage.

Scientific Reports, 2020 Phenotypic plasticity has been studied in diaspore-dimorphic species, but no such study has been done on a diaspore-polymorphic species. Our aim was to determine the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on phenotypic plasticity of the diaspore ...
