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 ...

A selection of images from KS1 Unit 2: 'Seed dispersal' showing Year 2 pupils planning, creating, performing and assessing their dances about seed dispersal. One pair performs their dance during ...

Plants spread their seeds in lots of different ways. This is called seed dispersal. Some seeds are transported by the wind and are shaped to float, glide or spin through the air. NARRATOR ...

When wind or other disturbances detach winged maple seeds called samaras from their parent tree, they spin through the air—and can even spin when it's raining. Impacts by high-speed raindrops only ...

Complex mechanisms of pollen dispersal over long distances may practically preclude the attainment of uncontaminated seeds using conventional strategies for seed production. The real risks arising ...

Scientists have discovered one of the earliest examples of a winged seed, gaining insight into the origin and early evolution ...
