Seed persistence is the survival of seeds in the environment once they have reached
maturity. Seed persistence allows a species, population or genotype to survive long after the …

Many gull species (Laridae) are opportunistic feeders with diverse diets. Seeds and fruits
are common in gull diets, often in small proportions but sometimes dominant in certain …

Local plant community assembly is influenced by a series of filters that affect the recruitment
and establishment of species. These filters include regional factors that limit seeds of any …

Disperser effectiveness is the number of new plants resulting from the activity of one
disperser relative to other dispersers or to nondispersed seeds. Effectiveness remains …

Weeds are selected to produce overwhelming propagule pressure, and while vertebrate and
invertebrate seed predators destroy a large percentage of seeds, their ecosystem services …

Plant species distributions are determined by various factors (including the dispersal modes
and the complex physical environment) across multiple spatial scales, in which the dispersal …

The maintenance of separated diploid and polyploid populations within a contact zone is
possible due to both prezygotic and postzygotic isolation mechanisms. Niche differentiation …

Based on niche theory, recruitment limitation is to discuss population regeneration through
the population demographic characteristics in different life stages, such as seed …

Tree recruitment is a spatially structured process that may undergo change over time
because of variation in postdispersal processes. We examined seed pilferage, seed …

The introduction of carnivorous mammals has led many native island species to extinction.
In the Balearic Islands, the introduction of carnivorous mammals in the main islands has …
