By Animal, Water, or Wind: Can Dispersal Mode Predict Genetic Connectivity in Riverine Plant Species?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Seed dispersal is crucial to gene flow among plant populations. Although the effects of geographic distance and barriers to gene flow are well studied in many systems, it is unclear how seed dispersal mediates gene flow in conjunction with interacting ...

Dissecting Between-Plant and Within-Plant Wage Dispersion - Evidence from Germany [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
Using rich linked employer–employee data for (West) Germany between 1996 and 2014, we conduct a decomposition analysis based on recentered influence function (RIF) regressions to analyze the relative contributions of various plant and worker characteristics to the rise in German wage dispersion.

Evaluation of seed‐dispersal services by ants at a temperate pasture: Results of direct observations in an ant suppression experiment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Ants disperse seeds of many plant species adapted to myrmecochory. While advantages of this ant–plant mutualism for myrmecochorous plants (myrmecochores) have been previously studied in temperate region mostly in forests, our study system was a pasture ...

Plant reproductive phenology and dispersal patterns after natural regeneration in a limestone mining spoil banks

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2004
Studies were carried out on the phenological patterns and dispersion of a plant community developed naturally after limestone mining operations, in accumulated materials of wastes (spoil banks).

DNA fingerprinting validates seed dispersal curves from observational studies in the neotropical legume parkia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Determining the distances over which seeds are dispersed is a crucial component for examining spatial patterns of seed dispersal and their consequences for plant reproductive success and population structure.

Moss and lichen asexual propagule dispersal may help to maintain the extant community in boreal forests

open access: yesEcosphere, 2019
Asexual propagules produced by mosses and lichens may help to maintain their community composition in boreal forests. Understanding the factors affecting the deposition of asexual propagules and their link with the community composition may reveal how ...

Can plant traits predict seed dispersal probability via red deer guts, fur, and hooves?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Seed dispersal by mammals provides functional connectivity between isolated plant habitat patches. Across much of Europe, red deer (Cervus elaphus) populations are growing steadily, potentially leading to increasing importance of this large mammal ...

Dispersal Behavior Characters of Spodoptera frugiperda Larvae

open access: yesInsects, 2023
The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a major pest of corn worldwide. FAW larval dispersal is an important life strategy that influences FAW population distribution in corn fields and subsequent plant ...

Wind-Generated Seed Shadow in Southern Brazil: The Influence of the Mother Plant and Wind Direction

open access: yesFloresta e Ambiente, 2020
Diaspore dispersal is an essential function of plant species, with effects on plant populations and natural forest dynamics. This study examines how traits of the mother plant (height, crown spread and distance from the diaspores) and the wind (wind ...

Seed rain and seed bank reveal that seed limitation strongly influences plant community assembly in grasslands. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Dispersal is an important factor in plant community assembly, but assembly studies seldom include information on actual dispersal into communities, i.e. the local propagule pool.
