Title Gene Dispersal in an Insect-Mediated Tree Species
Abstract For many plants pollen, and thus genes, is dispersed by the wind or by animals. Plants have evolved to develop special strategies to move their pollen from one plant to another. We have developed a model that examines the differences between these two types of pollen dispersal measuring some important biological statistics. We discuss the differences as well as the impact of the differences.
