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.

Pollen and seed dispersal of Brazil nut trees in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2018 Pollen and seed dispersal patterns greatly influence the spatial distribution of plant genetic diversity. Microsatellite-based parentage analysis provides accurate estimates of contemporary gene 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 ...

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.

Crop size influences pre-dispersal seed predation in the Brazilian Cerrado
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2017 Many pre-dispersal seed predators are specialized insects that rely on seeds for larval development. These insects may respond to the amount of seeds produced by a plant (i.e.

Grain-for-green accelerates functional restoration of rodent-mediated seed dispersal
Ecological Indicators, 2023 The Grain-for-Green Program in China is one of the largest payments for ecosystem services programs, and it is regarded as effective for protecting the ecological environment and mitigating disasters. However, research into the effects of revegetation on

Seed dispersal effectiveness in fragmented and defaunated landscapes
Ecosphere, 2023 Landscape fragmentation and defaunation have major impacts on plant dispersal and dynamics. However, whether the impact of such perturbations on seed dispersal and recruitment change in sign and strength across habitats and spatial scales, and whether ...

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
