Scientists have discovered a tropical “dynamite tree” that explosively launches seeds at 150 mph. The mechanism uses physics, ...

1. Seed dispersal is of high applied relevance as it governs colonization processes in rare species and during plant invasions. Seed tracking is a powerful approach to analysing dispersal processes ...

The apple might not fall far from the tree, but new research shows that how it falls might be what is most important in determining tree distribution across a forest. This study of the seed dispersal ...

Three species of non-photosynthetic plants rely mainly on camel crickets to disperse their seeds, according to new research from Project Associate Professor Suetsugu Kenji (Kobe University Graduate ...

Over the millions of years life has been on this planet, there has always been an advantage for species to spread their representation as far and wide as possible to ensure its survival in case of ...

Following a week of unseasonably mild weather, temperatures dropped dramatically as the weather service posted a frost advisory for Sunday night. I dashed around the yard as darkness fell, covering ...

A new study says tree distribution in the rainforest is highly dependent on species’ method of seed dispersal. The research could help explain how a large number of rainforest trees can coexist in a ...
