Scientists have discovered one of the earliest examples of a winged seed, gaining insight into the origin and early evolution of wind dispersal strategies in plants. Wind dispersal in plant seeds is a ...

During wind dispersal, seeds need to be buried first before they can settle and survive. However, how ground surface configuration, features of substratum (the layer of sand, rock or soil beneath the ...

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) of wind-borne organisms is central to quantifying risk for transgenic escape and gene flow, control of pests and invasions, persistence in fragmented landscapes and ...
