About: Diplochory

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Diplochory, also known as “secondary dispersal”, “indirect dispersal” or "two-phase dispersal", is a seed dispersal mechanism in which a plant's seed is moved sequentially by more than one dispersal mechanism or vector. The significance of the multiple dispersal steps on the plant fitness and population dynamics depends on the type of dispersers involved. In many cases, secondary seed dispersal by (typically granivorous) invertebrates or rodents moves seeds over a relatively short distance and a large proportion of the seeds may be lost to seed predation within this step. Longer dispersal distances and potentially larger ecological consequences follow from sequential by two different animals, i.e. : a primary disperser that initially consumes the seed, and a secondary, carnivorous animal

dbo:abstract
  • Dispersión secundaria o diplocoria, también conocida como dispersión indirecta es un proceso de dispersión que se presenta cuando la semilla de una planta es desplazada por varios factores de manera sucesiva. Actualmente se cree que la mayoría de los procesos de dispersión de semillas tienen más de un dispersor involucrado, además de que esto tiene grandes ramificaciones ecológicas en la dispersión a larga distancia.​ En la dispersión secundaria están involucrados varios factores tanto bióticos como abióticos. El viento y el agua pese a ser los vectores abióticos principales en este proceso no son los únicos, la precipitación, la temperatura y los cambios estacionales del área también llegan a formar parte de este tipo de dispersión. Además estos vectores influyen en diferente medida de acuerdo al tipo de diplocoria a la que hagamos referencia.​ (es)

Longer dispersal distances and potentially larger ecological consequences follow from sequential by two different animals, i.e. : a primary disperser that initially consumes the seed, and a secondary, carnivorous animal that kills and eats the primary consumer along with the seeds in the prey's digestive tract, and then transports the seed further in its own digestive tract. More than one dispersal vector (abiotic or biotic) is thought to be involved in the majority of seed dispersal events (on average 2.15 dispersal vectors in Dutch ecosystems). Seeds may be transported in turn by various animal or abiotic mechanisms such as wind or water. (en)
