In plants, pollen- and seed-dispersal distributions are characteristically leptokurtic, with significant consequences for spatial genetic structure and nearest-neighbour mating. However, most ...

1. Frugivores shape plant communities via seed dispersal of fleshy-fruited plant species. However, the structural characteristics that frugivores impart to plant communities are little understood.

To pinpoint the best structure, they developed and used full-scale computational models of how the air flows around their devices to mimic the tristellateia seed’s slow, controlled rotation.
