The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “Nathan et al. (2002) show, for example, that the majority of tree seeds that are not uplifted travel only a few hundred metres, while the few uplifted seeds may travel tens of kilometres.”
A simple mechanistic model of seed dispersal, predation and plant establishment: Janzen‐Connell and beyond (2004, background): “…that the major processes determining recruitment patterns operate at local scales; therefore, difficulties in estimating dispersal and establishment at large scales (Cain et al. 2000; Nathan 2001; Nathan et al. 2002, 2003) are not expected to impair the quantification of the above parameters.”
Pushing the limits in marine species distribution modelling: lessons from the land present challenges and opportunities (2011, background): “These dispersal processes limit the rate at which terrestrial organisms can disperse, although wind dispersal of small-seeded plants, analogous to dispersal by currents in the ocean, can be an important predictor of plant distributions (Nathan et al., 2002; Muñoz et al., 2004).”

Effects of Wind on Plants (2008, methodology): “Figure adapted from Nathan et al. 2002 and Nathan & Katul 2005. generate time samples of the wind velocity encountered by a particle and compute its resulting motion through Equation 8.”
The Ecology and Evolution of Seed Dispersal: A Theoretical Perspective (2003, background): “…should address uncertainties involved not only with dispersal, but also with predispersal (e.g., pollination, seed production, and predispersal seed loss), and postdispersal (e.g., seed predation, germination, and seedling competition) processes (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000, Schupp & Fuentes 1995).”
Effects of canopy heterogeneity, seed abscission and inertia on wind‐driven dispersal kernels of tree seeds (2008, methodology): “CELC, Nathan et al. 2002; Soons et al. 2004; Nathan & Katul 2005).”
Any way the wind blows ‐ frequent wind dispersal drives species sorting in ephemeral aquatic communities (2008, neutral): “Nathan et al. (2002) suggested that the”
Mechanistic models of seed dispersal by wind (2011, methodology): “…mechanistic wind dispersal models are particularly useful as they provide proxies of how far and at which rates seeds and pollen are expected to disperse (Nathan et al. 2002b; Tackenberg 2003; Soons et al. 2004a), as well as how stochastic the dispersal processes can be (Kuparinen et al. 2007b).”
Wind dispersal of soil invertebrates in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (2006, background): “The individual weight of the organism and the wind speed are important factors in how far an organism can disperse (Ran et al. 2002).”
