Converging approaches for modeling the dispersal of propagules in air and sea

C Lett, N Barrier, M Bahlali - Ecological Modelling, 2020 - Elsevier
Terrestrial plants seeds, spores and pollen are often dispersed by wind. Likewise, most eggs
and larvae of marine organisms are dispersed by oceanic currents. It was historically …

Dispersal of seeds by the tropical sea breeze

DF Greene, M Quesada, C Calogeropoulos - Ecology, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Given the dependence of most wind‐pollinated and wind‐dispersed species on low relative
humidity (RH) for abscission, and the minimization of RH in the early afternoon, there ought …

Increasing the depth of current understanding: Sensitivity testing of deep-sea larval dispersal models for ecologists

RE Ross, WAM Nimmo-Smith, KL Howell - PLoS One, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Larval dispersal is an important ecological process of great interest to conservation and the
establishment of marine protected areas. Increasing numbers of studies are turning to …

A review of biophysical models of marine larval dispersal

SE Swearer, EA Treml, JS Shima - Oceanography and Marine …, 2019 - library.oapen.org

Mechanistic modeling of seed dispersal by wind over hilly terrain

A Trakhtenbrot, GG Katul, R Nathan - Ecological Modelling, 2014 - Elsevier
Seed dispersal is the main movement mechanism used by plants. The last decade saw
rapid progress in understanding the underlying processes, especially for dispersal by wind …

Mechanistic models of seed dispersal by wind

R Nathan, GG Katul, G Bohrer, A Kuparinen… - Theoretical …, 2011 - Springer
Over the past century, various mechanistic models have been developed to estimate the

A mechanistic model for secondary seed dispersal by wind and its experimental validation

FM Schurr, WJ Bond, GF Midgley… - Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Summary 1 Secondary seed dispersal by wind, the wind‐driven movement of seeds along
the ground surface, is an important dispersal mechanism for plant species in a range of …

A theoretical framework for data analysis of wind dispersal of seeds and pollen

A Okubo, SA Levin - Ecology, 1989 - Wiley Online Library
We compared a variety of models for the analysis of data on the wind dispersal of seeds and
