Document Summary

From tree to seed: transport in plants, plant nutrition and soils, plant defense, plant life on the edge. Get the kids out from home : seed to germination: i. seed dispersal. Without seed dispersal adaptations, most seeds are deposited close to mother plant. Mating btw. closely related individuals: inbreeding depression: seed to germination: i. seed dispersal. Ingenious adaptations: seed to germination: i. seed dispersal. Small-mammal dispersal: seed to germination: i. seed dispersal. This video illustrates explosive self-, wind, and water dispersal, external hitchhiking, and internal hitchhiking, leaving out ant and small mammal dispersal. Suggestion: watch the video again and compare with lecture notes, focusing especially on ant and small mammal dispersal: seed to germination: i. seed dispersal.

Parachutes: seed to germination: i. seed dispersal.
