We examined the spatial structure (distribution, density) and function (viability) of the seagrass sediment seed bank, the storage of viable propagules (e.g. seeds, tubers, diaspores) in the sediment ...

A number of plants disperse their seeds in a rather artistic way: the seed capsules of the ice plant Delosperma nakurense, for instance, unfold lids over the seed compartments in the manner of a ...

Food abundance is an important determinant in habitat and patch selection but food accessibility and detectability is less often considered. Foraging on more cryptic seeds may increase predation risk ...

Scientists have discovered a novel one dimensional ice chain structure built from pentagons that may prove to be a step toward the development of new materials which can be used to seed clouds and ...

Tau is a pathogenic protein in Alzheimer’s (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases. The misfolding of tau into β-sheet rich elongated filaments is thought to be a key event in disease pathogenesis, ...

A census was performed in the stand to conduct a genetic study of seed and pollen dispersal. All 112 adult trees and 128 seedlings were sampled and mapped using a GPS III (Garmin, Olathe, KS, USA) ...
