This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully integrates a rapidly expanding body of theoretical and empirical research.· The first comprehensive treatment of plant dispersal set within a population framework· Examines both the processes and consequence of dispersal· Spans the entire range of research, from natural history and collection of empirical data to modeling and evolutionary theory· Provides a clear and simple explanation of mathematical concepts
