Dispersal of Seeds
Thursday, December 20th, 2007There are quite a number of ways for seeds to propagate and disperse themselves. Many require the use of certain agents for dispersal. Many kinds of seed are for instance, are evolutionarily suited to be carried out by the wind, others by birds or other flying creatures who eat the seed-bearing fruits and pass on the seeds when they fly off to some other place and empty the contents of their digestive system. Others, like coconuts, are carried out by sea currents. People are also a very notably propagator of seeds, especially because of agriculture.
