Recognition of the importance of intraspecific variation in ecological processes has been
growing, but empirical studies and models of global change have only begun to address this …

Dispersal is essential for species to survive the threats of habitat destruction and climate
change. Combining descriptions of dispersal ability with those of landscape structure, the …

Dispersal is fundamental to ecological processes at all scales and levels of organization, but
progress is limited by a lack of information about the general shape and form of plant …

Over the past 30 years, one of the most rapidly expanding areas in ecology has been the
development of structured population models, where individuals have attributes such as …

Dispersal is a key individual‐based process influencing many life‐history attributes and
scaling up to population‐level properties (eg metapopulation connectivity). A persistent …

Despite its importance for forest regeneration, food webs, and human economies, changes
in tree fecundity with tree size and age remain largely unknown. The allometric increase with …

1. We investigated the relationships of seed size, dispersal mode and other species
characteristics to interspecific variation in mean primary seed dispersal distances, mean …

The dispersal process, by which individuals or other dispersing agents such as gametes or
seeds move from birthplace to a new settlement locality, has important consequences for the …

This chapter summarizes research on seed dispersal vectors (water, wind and animals), and
the factors (including seed size and chemical composition, and plant habit) that determine …

The relationships that control seed production in trees are fundamental to understanding the
evolution of forest species and their capacity to recover from increasing losses to drought …
