Question

Description acceptable. A 2008 paper by Ran Nathan references a skate’s mermaid purse as a vector of this process’s non-standard LDD subtype, which “breaks the rules” by occurring more frequently than expected. In rainforests, the Janzen-Connell hypothesis links greater success in this process (-5[1])to (-5[1])less predation and greater survival. Nutritious (-5[2])elaiosomes attract ants in a form of this process that ends (15[1])in the colony’s refuse midden. Either turgor pressure or tension caused by desiccation can lead to a non-fungal “ballistic” form of this process, as seen in the (*) sandbox tree. “Winged” (10[2])samaras and the pappas (10[1]-5[1])of dandelion clocks (10[2])facilitate this (10[1])non-germination (10[1])process, (10[5])which is triggered (-5[1])by fire in (10[1])some (10[1]-5[1])serotinous (10[1]-5[1])plants. (10[3]-5[1])Squirrels (10[2])engage (-5[1])in this process (10[1]-5[1])when they abandon acorn (10[1])stashes. (10[2]-5[1])For 10 points, (10[1])wind and defecating animals (-5[1])are vectors for (10[1])what process in which a parent plant spreads its embryos? (10[3])■END■ (10[6]0[2])

ANSWER: seed dispersal [accept answers that indicate seeds being transmitted, deposited, blown, launched, exploded, etc. away from their parent plant; accept planting seeds or trees or plants; prompt on dispersal; prompt on reproduction]
