▪ Abstract Models of seed dispersal—a key process in plant spatial dynamics—have played
a fundamental role in representing dispersal patterns, investigating dispersal processes …

Dispersal of pollen and seeds are essential functions of plant species, with far-reaching
demographic, ecological and evolutionary consequences. Interest in plant dispersal has …

Dispersal distance, the Euclidian distance between 'start'and 'end'points of a dispersal
event, is recognized as a fundamental characteristic of the dispersal process, defined here …

Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) includes events in which propagules arrive, but do not
necessarily establish, at a site far removed from their origin. Although important in a variety …

1. We investigated the relationships of seed size, dispersal mode and other species
characteristics to interspecific variation in mean primary seed dispersal distances, mean …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

The size and shape of the tail of the seed dispersal curve is important in determining the
spatial dynamics of plants, but is difficult to quantify. We devised an experimental protocol to …

Pollen dispersal is a critical process that shapes genetic diversity in natural populations of
plants. Estimating the pollen dispersal curve can provide insight into the evolutionary …

Population genetics has made great strides in applying statistical analysis and mathematical
modeling to understand how genes mutate and spread through populations over time. But …

It is usually assumed that pollen availability does not limit reproduction in wind-pollinated
plants. Little evidence either supporting or contradicting this assumption exists, despite the …
