Palaeobiological evidence indicates that gymnosperms were wind-pollinated and that insect
pollination began in angiosperms in the Lower Cretaceous (ca. 135 mya) leading to close …

The process of seed dispersal that underpins ecosystem maintenance is performed by
diverse arrays of fruit‐eating animals. However, seed dispersal studies are primarily focused …

This review assesses the state of our knowledge about comparative seed shadows. Using
data presently available in the literature, I compare the slopes (on a log-linear scale) of seed …

The four chapters in which Professor Willson presents her study of the evolution and
interaction of plant reproductive mechanisms in relation to ecological factors are entitled (1) …

Fleshy fruits, which are apparently adapted for consumption by vertebrate seed-dispersal
agents, are very common (often> 70% of the species) in most tropical and subtropical rain …

Seed dispersal is important both to plant fitness and to plant population structure. We
suggest that the tail of the seed dispersal curve is at least as important biologically as the …

Seed dispersal by animals has sometimes been considered one of the factors hel** to
explain angiosperm diversification. Three predictions related to this hypothesis are …

Seed Dispersal focuses on the mechanics and processes involved in seed dispersal,
including its implications in ecology, animal behavior, plant and animal biogeography …

The spatial distribution of seeds can influence several parameters of the natural
regeneration of plant populations. Factors sha** seedfall patterns have been typically …

The divergence process of incipient species is fascinating but elusive by incomplete lineage
sorting or gene flow. Species delimitation is also challenging among those morphologically …
