The film explores the various methods of seed dispersal used by plants, highlighting the importance of seeds for future harvests. It discusses how humans collect seeds for agriculture, while also ...

Waterbirds play a pivotal role in the dispersal of plant seeds, thereby influencing the distribution, genetic connectivity, and composition of ecosystems across diverse habitats. Their dual seed ...

A new study from Iceland’s Surtsey island shows that birds carried most of the plants that colonised the island, overturning ...

Effective seed dispersal is critical for enabling rapid state shift from a bare tidal flat to a vegetated marsh. While tidal currents are the main dispersal vector in coastal environments, biological ...

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

When the volcanic island of Surtsey rose from the North Atlantic Ocean in 1963, it offered scientists a once-in-a-lifetime ...

They also note that other processes, such as pollination, seed predation, and competition influence seed dispersal and can constrain forest regrowth. Still, the findings were in line with recent ...

Researchers have developed a new class of nontoxic, biodegradable solid lubricants that can be used to facilitate seed ...
