Seed shattering refers to the natural shedding of seeds when they ripe, a phenomenon
typically observed in wild and weedy plant species. The timing and extent of this …

Summary 1 We present a critical review of the application of metapopulation theory to the
regional dynamics of plants. We consider whether there is evidence that regional …

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

Seed dispersal, interacting with environmental disturbance and management across
heterogeneous landscapes, results in irregular weed spatial distributions. Describing …

Mathematical modelling is a commonly used tool for studying the long‐term dynamics of
weed populations in agriculture. This was reflected in our review by the large number of …

This paper reviews the current knowledge on weed seed movement in an agricultural
environment. Seed movement is analyzed both from an agronomic and ecological …

Field experiments, conducted from 1991 to 1994, generated information on weed seedbank
emergence for 22 site-years from Ohio to Colorado and Minnesota to Missouri. Early spring …

The size, location, and variation in time of weed patches within an arable field were
analyzed with the ultimate goal of simplifying weed mapping. Annual and perennial weeds …

This paper considers the relationships between the dispersal of seeds and the distribution
pattern of an annual weed. A comparative study of seed dispersal by combine harvesters …

Weeds spread through movement of seeds and vegetative reproductive propagules. Pollen
movement can spread weedy traits, such as herbicide resistance, between related weed …
