Funded Activity Summary
Quantifying long-distance seed dispersal and its role in the metapopulation dynamics of plants with contrasting life histories. This work will contribute to the assessment of best fire-management practices, enabling land managers to compare current fire practices against those required for conservation of genetic resources. Our quantification of Long distance seed dispersal (LDD) among species with different life history attributes will be a major theoretical contribution to the fields of population ecology and population genetics. LDD is also imperative if species are to survive the major shifts in climate projected under modelled climate change scenarios - species without effective LDD may have a greater probability of extinction due to climate change. Assessing LDD enables quantification of this significant aspect of the threat of climate change to biodiversity.Funded Activity Details
