In spermatophyte plants, seed dispersal is the movement, spread or transport of seeds away from the parent plant. Plants have limited mobility and rely...

Seed dispersal syndromes are morphological characters of seeds correlated to particular seed dispersal agents. Dispersal is the event by which individuals...

categories, pre-dispersal and post-dispersal predation, which affect the fitness of the parental plant and the dispersed offspring (the seed), respectively...

Seed dispersal is important for plants because it allows their progeny to move away from their parents over time. The advantages of seed dispersal may...

either as seed dispersal agents or as seed predators, or both. During the day, these ants search the savannas for vegetation and plant seeds, and carry...

to the method of seed dispersal; that being the purpose of fruit - to encourage or enable the seed's dispersal and protect the seed while doing so. Following...

the dispersal distance. E. cicutarium with larger seeds have a longer coil and uncoil time compare to smaller seeds. In the field, the rate of seed burial...

such as seeds and spores. Technically, dispersal is defined as any movement that has the potential to lead to gene flow. The act of dispersal involves...

a sticky seed for dispersal. The seed sticks to nearby animals and birds and then comes into direct contact with the host. Arceuthobium seeds have a similarly...

is seed dispersal by ants, an ecologically significant ant–plant interaction with worldwide distribution. Most myrmecochorous plants produce seeds with...

long-distance seed dispersal. It is also known that ants actively engage in Helonias seed dispersal. Although ants can help facilitate the dispersal process...

seeds are viable for germination after the passage through the digestive tract, making the white-eared opossum an adequate vector for seed dispersal....

leaf-eating and seed predation. The giant lemurs likely filled ecological niches now left vacant, particularly seed dispersal for plants with large seeds. There...

This rodent buries seeds whole in locations favorable for seed germination, unlike other animals. Another important seed dispersal agent is the parakeet...
