Abstract
Evidence from field investigations and laboratory tests indicate that the antherozoids of D. superba Grev. are dispersed by a splashcup mechanism. Field studies of this dioecious species showed that sporophytes seldom develop further than 1.5-2 m from male plants. Laboratory tests showed this to be only slightly less than the maximum splash distance obtained from droplets released up to heights of 3.3 m.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
