How to predict attachment potential of seeds to sheep and cattle coat from simple morphological seed traits
Article Abstract:
The key process of epizoochory, the attachment potential of species, to animal coats is presented. The two simple models are presented to know how to quantify and to predict attachment potentials to sheep wool and to cattle hair from easily measurable seed traits.

Mechanisms promoting plant coexistence: Can all the proposed processes be reconciled?
Article Abstract:
After several decades of theoretical and empirical work, many mechanisms are proved to foster plant coexistence. Numerous mechanisms of plant coexistence are proposed and the relevance of these mechanisms is demonstrated using theoretical models.
