Dispersal Importance
  • Movement of seed through
  • Space
  • Away from parent (competition, pathogen
    build-up)
  • Into new territory
  • Time (dormancy)
  • Avoid competition
  • Avoid unfavorable environment

Lecture Activity
  • Write two questions appropriate for the exam
  • Identify the objective from the lecture that the
