Wing and Pappus Appendages Decrease Seed Terminal Velocity: A Meta‐Analysis
Ecology and EvolutionSeed dispersal by wind regulates plant species distribution in natural vegetation and can be applied in forest management and aerodynamic engineering. The terminal velocity of seeds is a fundamental variable for predicting anemochory seed dispersal, but ...

Decluttering Seed Dispersal Modes: Bringing Clarity to Seed Dispersal Ecology. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAmbiguity and redundancy in seed dispersal modes hinder ecological research and its applications. This viewpoint argues for the need for systematic simplification by proposing a framework for decluttering terminology and preparing a standardized hierarchical classification to resolve inconsistencies and enhance understanding of seed dispersal ecology ...

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 ...

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

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.

Samara water absorption and floatation in sheoaks, Casuarina and Allocasuarina (Casuarinaceae)
Natural History Sciences, 2022 Diaspores (samaras) of the sheoaks, Casuarina and Allocasuarina, have a mesocarp composed of hydrophilic fibres that, in Allocasuarina, rapidly expand on wetting, capturing significant quantities of water. The ecological function of this water capturing
