Dispersal of transgenes through maize seed systems in Mexico. [PDF]
, 2009 ObjectivesCurrent models of transgene dispersal focus on gene flow via pollen while neglecting seed, a vital vehicle for gene flow in centers of crop origin and diversity.

Changes in seed dispersal processes and the potential for between-patch connectivity for an arid land daisy [PDF]
, 2012 Dispersal is a major and critical process in population biology that has been particularly challenging to study. Animals can have major roles in seed dispersal even in species that do not appear specifically adapted to animal-aided dispersal.

Darwin’s wind hypothesis: does it work for plant dispersal in fragmented habitats? [PDF]
, 2009 Using the wind-dispersed plant Mycelis muralis, we examined how landscape fragmentation affects variation in seed traits contributing to dispersal.

Ecological sustainability in rangelands : the contribution of dung beetles in secondary seed dispersal (case study: Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, Iran) [PDF]
, 2016 Ecological sustainability has been recognized as one of the main aspects of sustainable development of rangelands, at which different kinds of animal including insects, make substantial contributions.

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication
, 2020 It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Selective interactions between short-distance pollen and seed dispersal in self-compatible species. [PDF]
, 2006 In plants, genes may disperse through both pollen and seeds. Here we provide a first theoretical study of the mechanisms and consequences of the joint evolution of pollen and seed dispersal.

Detection of Pollen Flow in the Seedling Seed Orchard of Acacia Mangium Using Dna Marker [PDF]
, 2013 Pollen pattern dispersal in seedling seed orchard (SSO) is an essential part of a tree-improvement program. Two SSOs of Acacia mangium in South Kalimantan and South Sumatra that represent similar resources in different environments were used in this ...

Landscape structure shapes carnivore-mediated seed dispersal kernels [PDF]
, 2015 Context Seed dispersal is recognized as having profound effects on the distribution, dynamics and structure of plant populations and communities. However, knowledge of how landscape structure shapes carnivore-mediated seed dispersal patterns is still ...
