The genetics of evolutionary radiations
With the realization that much of the biological diversity on Earth has been generated by
discrete evolutionary radiations, there has been a rapid increase in research into the biotic …

The total dispersal kernel: a review and future directions
The distribution and abundance of plants across the world depends in part on their ability to
move, which is commonly characterized by a dispersal kernel. For seeds, the total dispersal …

The relative contributions of seed and pollen dispersal to gene flow and genetic diversity in seedlings of a tropical palm
Seed and pollen dispersal shape patterns of gene flow and genetic diversity in plants.
Pollen is generally thought to travel longer distances than seeds, but seeds determine the …
