Growing recognition of the importance of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plant seeds for
various ecological and evolutionary processes has led to an upsurge of research into the …

Dispersal allows species to shift their distributions in response to changing climate
conditions. As a result, dispersal is considered a key process contributing to a species' long …

Wind-dispersed plants have evolved ingenious ways to lift their seeds,. The common
dandelion uses a bundle of drag-enhancing bristles (the pappus) that helps to keep their …

Dispersal is universally considered important for biodiversity conservation. However, the
significance of long‐as opposed to short‐distance dispersal is insufficiently recognized in …

Abstract Vittoz P. and Engler R. 2007. Seed dispersal distances: a typology based on
dispersal modes and plant traits. Bot. Helv. 117: 109–124. The ability of plants to disperse …

Roadsides are preferential migration corridors for invasive plant species and can act as
starting points for plant invasions into adjacent habitats. Rapid spread and interrupted …

Many studies have shown plant species' dispersal distances to be strongly related to life‐
history traits, but how well different traits can predict dispersal distances is not yet known. We …

Both nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) enrichment are known to impact plant diversity
globally. Recent studies suggest that P enrichment may be as important, or even more …

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

Many studies have investigated the potential impacts of climate change on the distribution of
plant species, but few have attempted to constrain projections through plant dispersal …
