How do islands become green?
Aim Four long‐distance dispersal (LDD) modes have generally been considered to play
central roles in the colonization of islands by plants: anemochory (dispersal by wind) …

Long‐distance dispersal syndromes matter: diaspore–trait effect on shaping plant distribution across the Canary Islands
Oceanic islands emerge lifeless from the seafloor and are separated from continents by long
stretches of sea. Consequently, all their species had to overcome this stringent dispersal …

Long-distance dispersal to oceanic islands: success of plants with multiple diaspore specializations
A great number of scientific papers claim that angiosperm diversification is manifested by an
ample differentiation of diaspore traits favouring long-distance seed dispersal. Oceanic …

Colonization of the Galápagos Islands by plants with no specific syndromes for long‐distance dispersal: a new perspective
Since nobody has witnessed the arrival of early plant colonists on isolated islands, the
actual long‐distance dispersal (hereafter LDD) has historically been a matter of speculation …

Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands: colonization routes and founder effect
Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands. We use
genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse …

Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal
Plant dispersal syndromes are allocated based on diaspore morphology and used to predict
the dominant mechanisms of dispersal. Many authors assume that only angiosperms with …

Oceanic islands are not sinks of biodiversity in spore-producing plants
V Hutsemékers, P Szövényi, AJ Shaw… - Proceedings of the …, 2011 - National Acad Sciences
Islands have traditionally been considered as migratory and evolutionary dead ends for two
main reasons: island colonizers are typically assumed to lose their dispersal power, and …

The loss of dispersal on islands hypothesis revisited: Implementing phylogeography to investigate evolution of dispersal traits in Periploca (Apocynaceae)
C García‐Verdugo, M Mairal, P Monroy… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Aim The loss of dispersal on islands hypothesis (LDIH) posits that wind‐dispersed plants
should exhibit reduced dispersal potential, particularly if island populations are old. In this …

Plant colonization across the Galápagos Islands: success of the sea dispersal syndrome
A new approach for investigating evidence for the capacity of plant colonization between
islands and the success of plant morphological traits associated with seed dispersal is …

Plant dispersal characteristics shape the relationship of diversity with area and isolation
Aim The relation of plant dispersal syndromes with insular species richness patters remains
one of the challenges in island biogeography, especially as people have affected species …
