Abstract The Canarian date palm, Phoenix canariensis, is one of the most representative
endemic plant species of the Canary Islands, although it is better known for its significant …

As a major agricultural crop in the semi-arid and arid zone of North Africa and the Middle
East, drupes (“fruits”) of the Date Palm Phoenix dactylifera form with their high carbohydrate …

Myxomycetes (plasmodial slime molds, Amoebozoa) are often perceived as widely
distributed, confounding to the “everything is everywhere” hypothesis. To test if gene flow …

Abstract Background and Aims Dispersal is crucial due to its direct impact on dynamics of a
species' distribution as well as having a role in shaping adaptive potential through gene …

Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae), a palm endemic to South and Central America, is a
potential oil crop. Knowledge of the mating system of this species is limited to its …

This study introduces the NMπ computer program designed for estimation of plant mating
system and seed and pollen dispersal kernels. NMπ is a re‐implementation of the NM+ …

Within populations of brooding sessile corals, sperm dispersal constitutes the mechanism by
which gametes interact and mating occurs, and forms the first link in the network of …

Canary Island Date Palms are widely planted as ornamental plants in private and public
spaces. As both prolific and long-duration seeders, their drupes provide food for a range of …

Pollination dynamics highly determines the genetic quality of seed orchard crops. However,
there is less research about the effect of mating patterns on seed productivity of orchard …

Premise Pollen dispersal, the main component of overall plant gene flow, generally
decreases with increasing distance from the pollen source, but the pattern of this …
