Measuring plant dispersal: an introduction to field methods and experimental design (2006, background): “Individual release of propagules can be used for other dispersal vectors, e.g., by setting up depots for propagules to be gathered by animals (Ohkawara and Higashi 1994), feeding or attaching propagules to animals (Fischer et al. 1996), or putting propagules into water ( Andersson et al. 2000; Ha e”
Extensive hydrochory uncouples spatiotemporal patterns of seedfall and seedling recruitment in a ‘bird‐dispersed’ riparian tree (2004, background): “The seed mimic experiment, however, probably more accurately reflects the actual secondary dispersal process (see also Nilsson et al. 1991; Andersson et al. 2000).”
Plant dispersal in a lowland stream in relation to occurrence and three specific life‐history traits of the species in the species pool (2003, background): “With respect to buoyancy, much work has been done to assess the floating time of seeds of individual species (Guppy 1906; Praeger 1913; Ridley 1930; Danvind & Nilsson 1997) and to highlight the potential role of hydrochory and buoyancy of seeds in structuring plant communities of the riparian zone a”
The dispersal characteristics of the invasive plant Mimulus guttatus and the ecological significance of increased occurrence of high‐flow events (2006, background): “Buoyancy may not be so significant in rivers that experience high flows as even seeds that have a short buoyancy time are dispersed effectively during floods (Bill et al. 1999; Andersson et al. 2000).”
Consequences of propagule dispersal and river fragmentation for riparian plant community diversity and turnover (2010, background): “Some of these are from local sources (,100 m; Levine 2003) and others are transported far (e.g., hundreds of kilometers) by water (Andersson et al. 2000b, Boedeltje et al. 2003).”
The relative importance of local, regional and historical factors determining the distribution of plants in fragmented riverine forests: an emergent group approach (2005, background): “Hydrochorous dispersal, which may occur over very long distances (Andersson et al., 2000), was not taken into account.”
Dispersal phenology of hydrochorous plants in relation to discharge, seed release time and buoyancy of seeds: the flood pulse concept supported (2004, background): “In free-flowing boreal rivers, for example, buoyancy of diaspores was not a crucial factor in structuring riparian vegetation (Andersson et al. 2000).”
Hydrochory increases riparian plant species richness: a comparison between a free‐flowing and a regulated river (2005, background): “The Vindel River has a large potential for long-distance dispersal by water; in an experiment with floating seed mimics, the average dispersal distance in the vicinity of the experimental reach was 40.3 km, and the longest recorded dispersal distance was 152.5 km (Andersson et al. 2000b).”
