Many internal (inherent) and environmental (imposed) factors control seed dormancy and
germination that we divide into three basic dormancy‐release pathways: Maternal structures …

Seed dispersal by animal vectors (endozoochory) is ubiquitous, significantly shaping plant
communities. Plants that produce seeds with physical dormancy (PY), including many …

Extremely long seed dispersal distances occur as a result of processes such as ocean drift

Heretofore, no study has determined how germination of ingested seeds is affected by the
kind (class) of dormancy nor by seed dormancy x seed size interaction. Thus, we aimed to …

But what are the reasons for this past importance? Why has mobile pastoralism declined
and why, nevertheless, has it survived? In this paper we analyse the causes for its existence …
