Dispersal of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi: Evidence and Insights for Ecological Studies
(Springer, 2020-09-12)
Dispersal is a critical ecological process that modulates gene flow and contributes to the maintenance of genetic and taxonomic diversity within ecosystems. Despite an increasing global understanding of the arbuscular ...
Groups travel further: pelagic metamorphosis and polyp clustering allow higher dispersal potential in sun coral propagules
(Berlin, 2014-03-08)
We report that planulae produced by Tubastraea coccinea can metamorphose and aggregate in groups of up to eight polyps in the water column, without previous settlement on benthic substrate. We also evaluated the survival ...
Seed rain of fleshy and dry propagules in different habitats in the temperate rainforests of Chiloé Island, Chile
(Blackwell Publishing, 2001)
In temperate rainforests on Chiloé Island in southern Chile (42°S), most canopy trees bear fleshy, avian-dispersed propagules, whereas emergent tree species have dry, wind-borne propagules. In the present study, the following ...
Do lower air or water temperatures limit the southern distribution of the white mangrove Laguncularia racemosa in South America?
(2019-12-15)
Rising temperatures due to climate change are expected to drive shifts in species composition, phenological patterns and the productivity of mangrove trees. During early life history stages, such as dispersal and settlement, ...
Variations in the dispersal curves of macroalgal propagules from a source
(NORTH HOLLAND, 2005)
First detailed insights into the life-history traits of the alien shrimp Athanas nitescens (Decapoda: Alpheidae) in the western Atlantic
(2021-01-01)
Information on the population biology of alien species in non-natural areas is essential to understanding their impacts on native species. Here, we investigated the life-history traits, the propagule pressure and the supply ...
The interplay between propagule pressure, seed predation and ectomycorrhizal fungi in plant invasion
(Pensoft Publishers, 2019-02)
There are many hypotheses aiming to explain invasion success, but evaluating individual hypotheses in isolation may hinder our ability to understand why some species invade and others fail. Here we evaluate the interaction ...
