River corridors are critical in connecting fragmented greenspace and providing habitats for
plants and animals. There is a paucity of information on the detailed influence of land use …

The animal dispersal hypothesis predicts that mast seeding can increase dispersal rate of
seeds by dispersers and enhance reproductive success of plants. However, in contrast to …

Birds and mammals are important seed dispersers of fleshy-fruited plants. Although their
behaviors are different, they frequently consume the same species. Thus to understand the …

Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) is an essential event for species colonization and expansion
in oceanic island ecosystems. Endozoochory by birds is an important factor promoting the …

Premise of the Study In animal‐dispersed plants, seed dispersal patterns of the same
species in the same habitat can greatly differ among individuals and temporally. Many …

An aggregated distribution of dispersed seeds may influence the colonization process in
tree communities via inflated spatial uncertainty. To evaluate this possibility, we studied 10 …

Wetlands contain a large number of spontaneous plants, and the ecological value of such
plants should not be underestimated. However, the influence of the surrounding …

Geneflow across populations is a critical determinant of population genetic structure,
divergence, and local adaptation. While evolutionary theory typically envisions geneflow as …

Seed dispersal by birds is critical for regeneration and maintenance of plant populations.
Birds likely rely on both visible light of human's eyes and ultraviolet (UV) reflectance when …

Seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) is one of the best parameters for estimating the benefit
that a plant obtains from a dispersal agent. SDE includes quantitative and qualitative …
