Restoration of plant species and genetic diversity depends on landscape‐scale dispersal (2018, background): “Thus, indirect estimates of dispersal have been developed by using species life history traits for building mechanistic models predicting seed dispersal distances, shape of seed dispersal kernels and seed-dispersion patterns (Thomson et al. 2010; Tamme et al. 2014; Bullock et al. 2017).”
Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “…examples of how databases can mislead, none of 247 Poaceae and 165 Cyperaceae species in an Australian database were considered as dispersed via endozoochory (Thomson et al. 2010), yet avian endozoochory is particularly frequent in these families (Calviño-Cancela et al. 2006, Green et al. 2008).”
Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, unknown): “Currently, coarse distinctions between species ’ dispersal capacities can be estimated from plant functional traits (Thomson et al. 2010; Tamme et al. 2014), although future work on standardized measurements of important traits such as buoyancy and seed gut passage survival will be critical for…”
How do islands become green (2015, background): “non-standard, vectors (Higgins et al., 2003; Thomson et al., 2010).”
