Scientists have discovered one of the earliest examples of a winged seed, granting insight into the origin and early evolution of wind dispersal strategies in plants.

Characterizing seed dispersal decline Using the model, researchers characterized the global decline in seed-dispersing bird and mammal species.

Why does it seem like conservationists only care about pollination, and the creatures like bees that do it? Seed dispersal is every bit as important, and to ensure a future with the greatest plant ...

The discovery of a unique case where the same insect species both pollinate a plant and distribute its seeds not only solves a long-standing botanical mystery. The Kobe University find also ...

Indeed, the animals most important to seed dispersal are the first to disappear as a result of the destruction of the Atlantic Rainforest, according to a paper published in the journal Biotropica.

Deer, bears, gibbons, but especially elephants, play an important role in seed dispersal for a large-fruited tree in the forests of Thailand, according to a new study. The data illustrate the ...

Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board launches drone-based afforestation drive on Trikuta Hills to increase green cover, using cutting-edge technology.

With high levels of oxalic acid, like that in Brussels sprouts, and with a proliferation of seed dispersal, the plant easily establishes itself everywhere except Greenland.

Effective seed dispersal is critical for enabling rapid state shift from a bare tidal flat to a vegetated marsh. While tidal currents are the main dispersal vector in coastal environments, biological ...

Biologists recorded Amami rabbits munching on the plant Balanophora yuwanensis, suggesting that the they might be important seed dispersers.
