Newly formed tetraploid plants in sympatry with their diploid progenitors should face significant obstacles to persistence and population establishment because of low-fitness triploids formed by cross ...

New, movement models for organisms as diverse as gut bacteria, ants, marine larvae and cheetahs include tree seed dispersal model and animal tracking systems tested in Panama. Feeling threatened?

A new study is first to show that marine animals can disperse eelgrass seeds, with implications for management and restoration. Look out the window and you're likely to see the dispersal of seeds -- ...

A forest ecologist, Dr. Greene studies pollination, seed production, seed abscission and dispersal, and germination, as well as broader issues in forestry and disturbance ecology. He is funded by ...
