Flower and fruit structure of the endangered species Petagnaea gussonei (Sprengel) Rauschert (Saniculoideae, Apiaceae) and implications for its reproductive biology [PDF]
, 2015 Petagnaea gussonei (Apiaceae) is an endangered species endemic to the Nebrodi mountains (north-eastern Sicily). Although an increasing number of studies have been performed on this species, its reproductive biology remains poorly understood.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Endozoochory of large bryophyte fragments by waterbirds
, 2017 Dispersal is a fundamental requirement for all organisms, indeed theoretical arguments show that dispersal is still required even in a uniform and predictable environment, and it is obviously a key mechanism by which plants respond to climate change ...

Using basic plant traits to predict ungulate seed dispersal potential
, 2015 International audienceHabitat fragmentation contributes to the decline of plant species by decreasing gene flow among populations. Restoring connectivity among habitat patches is therefore a major issue for plant conservation.

Evidence for overlooked mechanisms of long-distance seed dispersal to and between oceanic islands
, 2012 Ever since Darwin (1859), the dispersal of species from continents to oceanic islands, and between such islands, has been the subject of considerable speculation.
