Seeded dispersion polymerization
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2002AbstractMicron‐size poly(n‐butyl acrylate) (PBA) and polystyrene (PSt) particles were used as seed in second‐stage seeded dispersion polymerizations. The effects of various polymerization parameters on the morphology of the structured particles resulting from the second‐stage seeded dispersion polymerizations were studied, and a series of uniform ...

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1986
Seed dispersal by animals has received much recent attention (42, 44), with most of it focused on seed dispersal by frugivores (39, 41, 53, 70, 71), by ants (8, 21), and by scatterhoarding birds and mammals (19, 81, 85). Adhesive seed dispersal by means of animal fur and feathers has been largely neglected, although anecdotes about this dispersal mode ...

Seed banks and seed dispersal: important topics in restoration ecology§
Acta Botanica Neerlandica, 1996Restoration ecology deals with the scientific and ecological background of nature management practices aiming at the re-establishment of plant species which have disappeared. As we focus on semi-natural landscapes, these disappearances can be caused by intensification of agricultural practices or cessation of human interference.

Seed dispersal by Galápagos tortoises
Journal of Biogeography, 2012AbstractAim Large‐bodied vertebrates often have a dramatic role in ecosystem function through herbivory, trampling, seed dispersal and nutrient cycling. The iconic Galápagos tortoises (Chelonoidis nigra) are the largest extant terrestrial ectotherms, yet their ecology is poorly known.

Pollen and seed dispersal among dispersed plants
Biological Reviews, 2005ABSTRACTThe ecological significance of spacing among plants in contributing to the maintenance of species richness, particularly in tropical forests, has received considerable attention that has largely focussed on distance ‐ and density‐dependent seed and seedling mortality.

Loss of seed dispersal before the loss of seed dispersers
Biological Conservation, 2016(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Cryptic function loss occurs when the ecological function of an animal population is significantly altered as a result of disturbance, even though the species is still present in the ecosystem. We reviewed the evidence for cryptic function loss to be widespread among seed disperser populations that ...

SEED DISPERSAL OF DESERT ANNUALS
Ecology, 2008We quantified seed dispersal in a guild of Sonoran Desert winter desert annuals at a protected natural field site in Tucson, Arizona, USA. Seed production was suppressed under shrub canopies, in the open areas between shrubs, or both by applying an herbicide prior to seed set in large, randomly assigned removal plots (10-30 m diameter).

1989
In part three, on vegetation dynamics, it appeared that many species have become newly established in permanent plots in the study areas. Newly established species in a lot can have been present in the seed bank in the soil before emergence. This is only the case for species with a persistent seed bank sensu Thompson & Grime (1979).
