CRYPTIC CONSEQUENCES OF A DISPERSAL MUTUALISM: SEED BURIAL, ELAIOSOME REMOVAL, AND SEED-BANK DYNAMICS

open access: yesEcology, 2004
In moving seeds from one location to another, dispersers define the ecological context that a plant will experience throughout its lifetime. Because seed deposition sites may benefit one plant life cycle stage but not others, dispersal may give rise to a conflict between a plant's dispersal needs (e.g., predator escape) and its requirements for ...

Invasive shrubs amplify seasonal granivory, revealing optimal windows for seed survival following invasive shrub removal

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Invasive shrubs dramatically reduce the biodiversity of native plants, making invaded areas important targets of conservation and restoration. Adding seeds of native plant species, in addition to the removal of invasive plants, is a potentially promising means for restoration of native plant communities. However, because seed survival may vary

Precipitation Drives Frugivory in a Subtropical Generalist Herbivore, the Gopher Tortoise, and Alters Its Functional Role as a Seed Disperser

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
A generalist herbivore, the gopher tortoise, becomes more frugivorous intra‐annually, following seasonal precipitation. As it increasingly becomes frugivorous, it disperses seeds exhibiting very different dispersal syndromes. At high levels of frugivory, this species behaves as a classical frugivore with regard to the types of seeds it disperses.

Gone with the waves: the role of sea currents as key dispersal mechanism for Mediterranean coastal and inland plant species

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 832-841, August 2024.
We tested the ability to disperse by sea and found that thalassocorous plants may be more common than generally believed, as inland and, at shorter distances, endemic plants cannot be excluded. Abstract Thalassochory, the dispersal of propagules through marine currents, is a key long‐distance dispersal (LDD) mechanism with implications for global ...

VARIATION BETWEEN PERIPHERAL AND CENTER ACHENE MORPHOLOGY AND ATTRIBUTES OF ACHENE GERMINATION IN THE INVASIVE SPECIES, \u3ci\u3eCENTAUREA MELITENSIS\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015

The Ecology of a Keystone Seed Disperser, the Ant Rhytidoponera violacea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Rhytidoponera violacea (Forel) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) is a keystone seed disperser in Kwongan heathl and habitats of southwestern Australia. Like many myrmecochorous ants, little is known about the basic biology of this species.

Anthropogenic disturbance as a driver of microspatial and microhabitat segregation of cytotypes of Centaurea stoebe and cytotype interactions in secondary contact zones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background and Aims In a mixed-ploidy population, strong frequency-dependent mating will lead to the elimination of the less common cytotype, unless prezygotic barriers enhance assortative mating.
