New Ecology paper about relationships among plant dispersal mechanisms, syndromes, and animal vectors. Dispersal mechanisms only match dispersal syndromes in a minority of cases. @ebdonana.bsky.social @fsd2028.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Comparison of the assigned dispersal syndrome based on species traits from the EuDis database (shown in rows) to the observed dispersal mechanisms in our database (shown in columns). The percentage assignment of each syndrome is calculated per observed mechanism, with the number of plant–animal interactions for each mechanism indicated below as n. Boxes with a black contour indicate “predicted dispersal” when assigned syndromes match observed mechanisms. Color intensity increases with a higher contribution of a syndrome to dispersal via the mechanism.

From the upcoming #AppsPlantSci #PlantDispersal issue 🌱 Animal-mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods (by @noellebeckman.bsky.social, @jmbecologist.bsky.social, et al) bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #botany #zoochory #PlantEcology #SeedDispersal

Illustration of the interdisciplinary frameworks to study seed dispersal, integrating general spatial patterns and processes from the generalized gravity framework, movement ecology paradigm, and seed dispersal effectiveness framework. The text at the top left reads Generalized Gravity Framework; the text at the top right reads Seed Dispersal Effectiveness Framework. From the tree at the center, the text moving to the left reads: "Source Processes," "Relocation Processes," and "Destination Processes"; the text moving rightward from the tree reads: "Quantity," "Vector Quality," and "Seedscape Quality." The text moving downward from the tree reads "Predispersal & Departure," "Drivers of Movement," "Movement Ecology Paradigm," and "Deposition & Postdispersal." The illustration shows various animals carrying diaspores away from the source tree.

Plant-frugivore mutualisms are ancient! Fossil evidence shows that frugivorous animals were likely helping plants spread their seeds as early as 120 million years ago Images: Longipteryx from the Early Cretaceous www.cell.com/current-biol...

Although the next conference is still a way off, we’ve created this account to share updates on venue and dates, as well as news and publications on FRUGIVORES & SEED DISPERSAL Artwork: María León Ilustración
