Introduced invasive alien aquatic plants (IAAPs) threaten ecosystems due to their excessive
growth and have both ecological and economic impacts. To minimize these impacts …

Growing recognition of the importance of long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plant seeds for
various ecological and evolutionary processes has led to an upsurge of research into the …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plants poses challenges to research because it involves
rare events driven by complex and highly stochastic processes. The current surge of …

Hydrochory, or the passive dispersal of organisms by water, is an important means of
propagule transport, especially for plants. During recent years, knowledge about hydrochory …

Fens represent a large array of ecosystem services, including the highest biodiversity found
among wetlands, hydrological services, water purification and carbon sequestration. Land …

While sexual regeneration of plants after disturbance is relatively well understood,
vegetative regeneration has attracted some attention only recently. Its role along …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

Sampling methods and results of a gene flow study are described that will be of interest to
plant scientists, evolutionary biologists, ecologists, and stakeholders assessing the …

Summary 1 Restored floodplains and backwaters lacking a viable propagule bank, may
need flood pulses to facilitate inward dispersal of diaspores. Temporal patterns of …

Summary 1 Local plant communities can only function within a metacommunity context if
they are connected by appropriate dispersal vectors, accommodating the transport of …
