Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

As the single opportunity for plants to move, seed dispersal has an important impact on plant
fitness, species distributions and patterns of biodiversity. However, models that predict …

Motivation Although dispersal ability is one of the key features determining the spatial
dynamics of plant populations and the structure of plant communities, it is also one of the …

Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a
mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in …

Understanding mechanisms that generate range limits is central to knowing why species are
found where they are and how they will respond to environmental change. There is growing …

Seed dispersal is critical to the ecological performance of sexually reproducing plant
species and the communities that they form. The Mammalian order Carnivora provide …

Plants differ widely in their ability to find tolerable climatic ranges through seed dispersal,
depending on their life-history traits and habitat characteristics. Following the Preferred …

The majority of woody plant species on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) are dispersed by
animals. We review research relevant to understanding the processes and consequences of …

Frugivore movement plays a critical role in animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Frugivores
utilize resources that are heterogeneously distributed in the landscape and execute complex …

Dispersal drives invasion dynamics of nonnative species and pathogens. Applying
knowledge of dispersal to optimize the management of invasions can mean the difference …
