“The Dispersion of Seeds and Plants” [PDF]

Nature, 1888
IN support of the views expressed in Mr. D. Morris's interesting article on the above subject (NATURE, March 15, p. 466), I beg to be allowed to state the following facts. In the Island of Porto Rico, the Panicum barbinode, called there “malojilla,” has been cultivated for many years in the low humid lands, and it is a current opinion among farmers ...

Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic drivers influence the quantity and quality components of seed dispersal effectiveness in the rare shrub Lindera subcoriacea.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Information about seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) for plant species of conservation concern is rarely available to inform management strategies and actions.

Rodent-mediated seed dispersal of Korean pine in forest gaps: The importance of fine-scale spatial heterogeneity of understory vegetation

Ecological Indicators, 2022
During the restoration of secondary forests in Northeast China, it is critically important to promote seed recruitment of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis), which is highly dependent on rodents and significantly affected by spatially heterogeneous ...

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.

Seed trait and rodent species determine seed dispersal and predation: evidences from semi-natural enclosures

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2015
Seed traits affect seed dispersal by animals. However, the combined role of seeds and dispersers in determining seed dispersal is not well explored. We attempted to test how seed traits and predators determine seed dispersal and predation interaction in ...

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.

A Switch in Keystone Seed-Dispersing Ant Genera between Two Elevations for a Myrmecochorous Plant, Acacia terminalis.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The dispersal capacity of plant species that rely on animals to disperse their seeds (biotic dispersal) can alter with changes to the populations of their keystone dispersal vectors. Knowledge on how biotic dispersal systems vary across landscapes allows

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
