• The relative importance of local conditions and regional processes in structuring aquatic plant communities (2010, background): “Seeds and fruits can be carried thousands of kilometres by waterfowl (Figuerola & Green, 2002), and at least occasional long-distance dispersal of these propagules appears to account for the cosmopolitan distribution of many (Les et al., 2003).”
• Directional asymmetry of long‐distance dispersal and colonization could mislead reconstructions of biogeography (2005, background): “Repeated large-scale biogeographical patterns that are ascribable to LDD indicate that LDD can be directional (Wardle, 1978; McDowall, 2002; Les et al., 2003; Muñoz et al., 2004; Sanmartı́n & Ronquist, 2004), despite claims by some authors (e.”
• Global diversity of aquatic macrophytes in freshwater (2007, background): “Recently, Les et al. (2003) examined the role of dispersal versus displacement in the distribution of aquatic macrophytes.”
• Anatomical patterns of aerenchyma in aquatic and wetland plants (2008, background): “…plants include angiosperms derived from various independent origins of basal flowering plants, monocots, eudicots, and ferns, such as monilophytes (Azollaceae and Marsileaceae) and lycophytes (Isoetaceae) (Arber, 1920; Sculthorpe, 1967; Tomlinson, 1982; Choi, 1985; Cook, 1996; Les et al., 2003).”
• The Central Role of Dispersal in the Maintenance and Persistence of Seagrass Populations (2011, background): “Wide species distributions are attributed to efficient dispersal mechanisms and the capacity for long-distance dispersal (Les et al. 2003).”
• The potential role of waterbirds in dispersing invertebrates and plants in arid Australia (2007, unknown): “Molecular evidence strongly suggests that long-distance dispersal by birds over evolutionary timescales explains the cosmopolitan distribution of aquatic genera such as Lemna and Myriophyllum ( Les et al., 2003 ).”
• Testing Hypotheses on Species Delimitations and Disjunctions in the Liverwort Bryopteris (Jungermanniopsida: Lejeuneaceae) (2006, background): “Application of an ITS sequence divergence of 0.27%/million years (Les et al. 2003) permits us to consider an emergence of Bryopteris in the mid-Cretaceous, a split of B. diffusa from the B. filicina/B. gaudichaudii clade in the Early Tertiary, and a speciation of B. filicina/B. gaudichaudii in the…”
• Phylogenetic biogeography and taxonomy of disjunctly distributed bryophytes (2009, background): “Accordingly, a comparison of sequence variation with that of dated phylogenies may shed some light on the likelihood of different scenarios (Les et al., 2003).”
