Using genetics to infer dispersal in Cakile edentula spp. Harperi. (South Carolina Academy of Sciences Abstracts).(biology research)(Brief Article)
|
Of the ecological processes that determine the dynamics of metapopulations, dispersal is the most difficult to quantify. In plants, dispersal events are particularly difficult to observe because of difficulties in marking the seed, the unit of dispersal. Furthermore, even if seed dispersal events are observed directly, they provide data on movement alone, and ignore the rates of establishment following dispersal. Genetic markers provide one avenue to quantify effective ...
