• Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “The functional trait space of plants dispersed strongly coincided with that of non-dispersed plants, i.e. potentially any species could be dispersed (Pakeman et al. 2002, Albert et al. 2015a).”
• Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, unknown): “Similarly, seed buoyancy is important for predicting dispersal in water (Carthey et al. 2016; Soons et al. 2017), and different traits are associated with dispersal by animals via attachment and ingestion (Albert et al. 2015).”
