To maintain the high biodiversity of semi-natural grasslands, management by grazing or
mowing is needed. Given the limited resources and few remaining areas, the best …

Dispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of
populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and …

Dispersal is fundamental to ecological processes at all scales and levels of organization, but
progress is limited by a lack of information about the general shape and form of plant …

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 …

Dispersal is a key individual‐based process influencing many life‐history attributes and
scaling up to population‐level properties (eg metapopulation connectivity). A persistent …

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 …

Dispersal syndromes describe patterns of covariation of morphological, behavioural, and/or
lifehistory traits associated with dispersal (see Glossary). Covariation is a continuous …

Over the past century, various mechanistic models have been developed to estimate the
magnitude of seed dispersal by wind, and to elucidate the relative importance of physical …

Dispersal affects species' ability to move or adapt in response to environmental change.
Successful long‐distance dispersal also requires reproduction in areas with few mates, thus …

Abstract Models for detecting the effect of adaptation on population genomic diversity are
often predicated on a single newly arisen mutation sweeping rapidly to fixation. However, a …
