Darwin experimented with the viability of seeds after they had been submerged ... Thus, he concluded that transport by ocean currents could disperse plants quite widely, and that multiple ...

Winds, flying animals, or water currents are some of the most successful agents of long-distance passive dispersal. Seeds and fruits that have wings, hairs, or inflated processes are carried ...

The wind disperses lots of seeds that are light or can catch the breeze. But only some find a good spot to germinate. Some plants use water to disperse seeds that float. These seeds can be carried ...

Researchers uncover unique insect-plant relationship: ants and crickets pollinate and disperse Balanophora seeds.

Ecballium elaterium uses four key components to successfully disperse its seeds that have been refined over time to ensure the best chance of the seeds’ survival. The findings are detailed in a ...

New research has shown how the squirting cucumber achieves efficient seed dispersal through a pressurized launch system, providing insights for bio-inspired applications. A new study led by the Univer ...

finding that many disperse their own seeds and that seed dispersal by water is less common.
