Classification and Biogeography of New World Grasses: Anomochlooideae, Pharoideae, Ehrhartoideae, and Bambusoideae [PDF]

, 2007
Molecular data support Anomochlooideae and Pharoideae as the two most basal extant clades within Poaceae. Anomochlooideae are endemic to the New World and have two tribes and two genera including the widespread Streptochaeteae (3–4 spp.) and the ...

Epizoochory via the hooves – the European bison (Bison bonasus L.) as a dispersal agent of seeds in an open-forest-mosaic

, 2014
Large herbivores are significant vectors for the long-distance dispersal of seeds in various habitats, both attached to animals (epizoochory) and via gut passage (endozoochory). The majority of studies on epizoochory have examined dispersal in the fur of domesticated ungulates.

A simple and affordable protocol to assess censer seed dispersal: First confirmation of the mechanism in the genus Solanum

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.
Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...

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.

Morphology of Hydatellaceae, an anomalous aquatic family recently recognized as an early-divergent angiosperm lineage [PDF]

, 2007
© 2007 Botanical Society of America, Inc.The family Hydatellaceae was recently reassigned to the early-divergent angiosperm order Nymphaeales rather than the monocot order Poales.

Ant‐mediated seed dispersal in the Poaceae: Evidence of myrmecochory in green foxtail (Setaria viridis) and giant foxtail (Setaria faberi)

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
Model systems have been developed for certain mutualistic interactions, such as pollination, root nodules, and mycorrhizal symbiosis, advancing our understanding of these forms of mutualism. However, in the area of seed dispersal mutualism, a model system has been lacking. Here, we provide evidence of ant‐seed dispersal mutualism in Setaria viridis and

Moderate Seasonal Grazing During the Seed‐Set Stage Is Detrimental to Seed Rain and the Soil Seed Bank in an Alpine Meadow

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 37, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
We investigated the characteristics of temporal (different years) and spatial (different seasonal pastures) variations in species richness and density of the aboveground vegetation, seed rain, and transient soil seed bank under moderate seasonal grazing in an alpine meadow, Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau.

Large herbivores in coastal dune management: do grazers do what they are supposed to do? [PDF]

After some decades of rather sparse and more or less ad-hoc nature management (e.g. local shrub-cutting, sod-cutting, mowing), the manager of the Flemish coastal nature reserves [Nature Department (Coastal Zone Management Cell) of AMINAL, Ministry of the

Experimental Studies on Epizoochorous Dispersal in Californian Plants [PDF]

, 1985
Experiments studying degrees of adherence ability to various surfaces were undertaken with presumably epizoochorous diaspores of 14 native and eight introduced species from southern California. A commonly available laboratory shaker was modified so as to
