1. Seed dispersal is of high applied relevance as it governs colonization processes in rare species and during plant invasions. Seed tracking is a powerful approach to analysing dispersal processes ...

The apple might not fall far from the tree, but new research shows that how it falls might be what is most important in determining tree distribution across a forest. This study of the seed dispersal ...

Three species of non-photosynthetic plants rely mainly on camel crickets to disperse their seeds, according to new research from Project Associate Professor Suetsugu Kenji (Kobe University Graduate ...

Over the millions of years life has been on this planet, there has always been an advantage for species to spread their representation as far and wide as possible to ensure its survival in case of ...

Researchers have developed a new tool to sequence chloroplast DNA from hundreds of plants at once, to learn more about how plant populations move. This tool, CallHap, makes it cheaper and easier to ...

The objective of this study was to analyse quantitatively the spatial distribution of holly (Ilex aquifolium L.) seed rain and seed bank, and to detect the relationships between these consecutive ...

A new study says tree distribution in the rainforest is highly dependent on species’ method of seed dispersal. The research could help explain how a large number of rainforest trees can coexist in a ...

Analyzing population dynamics in changing habitats is a prerequisite for population dynamics forecasting. The recent development of metapopulation modeling allows the estimation of dispersal kernels ...

Researchers have developed a new class of nontoxic, biodegradable solid lubricants that can be used to facilitate seed ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 28, 2006 -- The apple might not fall far from the tree, but new research shows that how it falls might be what is most important in determining tree distribution across a forest ...
