, 2009 Dispersal is a term used for the dissemination of detached reproductive structures from parent plants to a new site. Disseminules include spores, seeds, fruits, whole inflorescences, whole plants, fragments of the parent plant, bulbs and bulbils. Fruit attributes related to a particular dispersal agent or dispersal syndromes are complex and have ...

What strategies do plants use in trying to disperse their seeds, so as to colonize distant areas? Is it more advantageous to have tiny seeds as light as a feather, or tough and heavy acorns?

Weta are giant, flightless grasshoppers that are endemic to New Zealand. In the absence of native mammals, weta are thought to perform similar ecological functions. As such, they might be expected to be important seeds dispersers. However, insects are not known to consume fleshy fruits and to disperse seeds after gut passage.

Seed dispersal by neotropical seed predators
American Journal of Primatology, 1998From a plant's perspective, the difference between a seed predator and a seed disperser should be straightforward: attract animals that will disperse seeds and defend seeds from potential predators. Unlike pulp-eating frugivores, seed predators regularly encounter diverse plant protective mechanisms.

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 ...

Reliability of macaques as seed dispersers
American Journal of Primatology, 2020AbstractSeed dispersal is an ecological process crucial for forest regeneration and recruitment. To date, most studies on frugivore seed dispersal have used the seed dispersal effectiveness framework and have documented seed‐handling mechanisms, dispersal distances and the effect of seed handling on germination.
