Mecanismos de dispersion de diasporas de una selva decidua en Venezuela

open access: yes, 1984
The predommant life-forms in a deciduous forest of northem Venezuela are found to be phanerophytes, lianas and chamaephytes. The dispersal mechanisms in this forest are anemochory (42%), zoochory (30%), barochory (19%), and autochory (9%).

Invasividad de comunidades vegetales en una zona árida del trópico mexicano [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Dispersal is a main component if plant populations and community invasiveness. Feasibility of propagles to reach safe sites for establishment depends on dispersal. Besides, it allows species persistence in low-density patches, habitat recolonization, and

Pollination and dispersal systems in a Cerrado remnant (Brazilian Savanna) in Southeastern Brazil

open access: yes, 2017
The aim of this work was to identify the pollination and dispersal systems among the species in a disjunct marginal cerrado area and to compare the frequency of these systems to those found in other Neotropical vegetation.

Evolutionary history and the global distribution of seed dispersal modes in angiosperms

open access: yes
Seed dispersal modes play a crucial role in angiosperm migration, adaptation, and responses to climate change, yet their global spatiotemporal patterns and underlying drivers remain largely unexplored. Here, using a global dataset on seed dispersal modes

Methods for studying of free-living herbivores zoochory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Epizoochory as well as endozoochory are well known dispersal mechanisms. This topic is being studied more and more often lately but our knowledge is still incomplete.

Floristic analysis and dispersal syndromes of woody species of the Serra de Maracaju, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
This paper presents a floristic survey of the wood component of cerrado s.s. (eastern face) and gallery forest (western face) areas carried out in the southern part of the Serra de Maracaju. The dispersal syndromes and floristic relations of this portion

Dispersal mechanisms in freshwater algae and cyanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Global occurrence of many species of freshwater cyanobacteria and algae shows, that they are dispersed easily. However, the exact transport mechanisms are not known for most of these microorganisms. This bachelor thesis introduces various mechanisms that

Pectinatella magnifica (Leidy, 1851) (Bryozoa, Phylactolaemata), a biofouling bryozoan recently introduced to China

open access: yes, 2017
Freshwater biofouling threatens a variety of human activities, from the supply of water and energy to recreation. Several species of freshwater bryozoans are notorious for clogging pipes and filters but have been relatively poorly studied to date.
