Plants spread their seeds in lots of different ways. This is called seed dispersal. Some seeds are transported by the wind and are shaped to float, glide or spin through the air. NARRATOR ...

aiding in seed dispersal. "It is well known that many plants rely on insects for pollination, although it's rare for ants and crickets. Also, many plants use birds and mammals to distribute their ...

Complex mechanisms of pollen dispersal over long distances may practically preclude the attainment of uncontaminated seeds using conventional strategies for seed production. The real risks arising ...

A forest ecologist, Dr. Greene studies pollination, seed production, seed abscission and dispersal, and germination, as well as broader issues in forestry and disturbance ecology. He is funded by ...

Although they employ various methods of pollination and seed dispersal to propagate their offspring, most terrestrial plants are securely rooted to one spot. They can’t run away from bacterial or ...

Ant-mediated seed dispersal, also known as myrmecochory, is a fascinating ecological interaction where ants transport seeds away from the parent plant, often benefiting both the plants and the ants.
