Can Predation Pressure Help Explain the Curious Evolution of Ballistic Seed Dispersal?
ABSTRACT Ballistic seed dispersal (ballochory) involves the autonomous explosive release of seeds from adult plants. The unconventional mechanics of this strategy have understandably drawn considerable scientific attention. The explosive release of seeds is achieved by a variety of physical mechanis...
