Symposium
Advances in dispersal ecology: applying molecular approaches to
understanding movement pathways at local and landscape scales
Organizer : Denise Hardesty (Denise.Hardesty -at- csiro.au)
Seed and pollen dispersal are critical to plant persistence, maintenance, and regeneration. Recent technological improvements make it more feasible and cost effective to apply molecular markers to address a multitude of dispersal-related questions which have proven difficult using other methods. Molecular approaches permit us to more easily increase our understanding of dispersal patterns (though seed and pollen movement) in intact and altered ecosystems, at local and large spatial scales, in contemporary and historical times. This symposium brings together researchers working on several continents to address dispersal related questions at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
