Effect of habitat fragmentation on seed dispersal ability of a wind-dispersed annual in an agroecosystem
Deficient dispersal ability due to habitat fragmentation adversely impact demographic connectivity and gene flow among population in a metapopulation, and therefore potentially leads to local extinction. A rich body of theoretical work provides distinct predictions regarding the distribution of dispersal abilities in relation to fragmentation gradient. Yet, empirical data remains...Chen, Si-Chong ; Dener, Efrat ; Altman, Ariel ; Chen, Fang ; Giladi, Itamar

An allometry between seed kernel and seed coat shows greater investment in physical defense in small seeds
Premise of the Study Numerous studies have treated the mass of a whole seed as an integrated unit, although the components seed kernel and seed coat play different roles and are subject to different evolutionary selection pressures. In this study, we provided the first global-scale quantification of the relative biomass...Wu, La-Mei ; Chen, Si-Chong ; Wang, Bo

A Remarkable New Species of Euphorbia section Helioscopia (Euphorbia subgenus Esula, Euphorbiaceae) from Jiufeng Mountains in Fujian Province, Eastern China.
, a new species of Euphorbiaceae from Eastern China, supported by morphological and molecular evidence, is illustrated and described here. It can be distinguished from its closest relatives by the combination of several characters, including taller stature (up to 1.6 m), leaves of 5‐18 × 0.6‐3 cm in size, color...China, Flora of China, Fujian Province (China), Leafy spurges, Euphorbia xiangxiui, Phylogeny, Taxonomy, and Jiufeng Mountains (China)

Seeds tend to disperse further in the tropics
Despite the importance of seed dispersal in a plant's life cycle, global patterns in seed dispersal distance have seldom been studied. This paper presents the first geographically and taxonomically broad quantification of the latitudinal gradient in seed dispersal distance. Although there is substantial variation in the seed dispersal distances of...Chen, Si-Chong ; Tamme, Riin ; Thomson, Fiona ; Moles, Angela
