DispersalAtomizedType
The permanent spreading of individuals away from each other not including return. Dispersal determines the range over which genetic mixing occurs, and thus, the degree of homogeneity and inbreeding in a population.
Context in which dispersed information is expressed: e.g. time or geographical scale.
Type: MeasurementOrFactType
Means or vector of dispersal.
A controlled vocabulary is recommended.
e.g. Zoochory, Anemochory, Hydrochory, Barochory, Autochory
Type: [NormalString] (https://github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore/wiki/NormalString)
Mechanism or structure which seeds are dispersed.
A controlled vocabulary is recommended.
e.g. Seed, Fruit, Vegetative structure, Spores, Gametes, Eggs, Offspring and Individuals
Type: [NormalString] (https://github.com/tdwg/PlinianCore/wiki/NormalString)
Dispersal distance.
e.g. 450 m
Type: MeasurementOrFactType
