“…Characteristics that confer strong adaptability to diaspores could enhance their effective dispersal. Therefore, factors facilitating post‐dispersal success are critical in predicting effective LDD (Wu et al., 2023). Here we uncovered the synergistic relationship between polyploidy and LDD and provided insights into their joint roles in shaping the global species diversification in a plant genus Rorippa that originated in the late Miocene ( c .…”

AimLong‐distance dispersal (LDD) plays an important role in shaping the distribution of global biodiversity. Polyploidy could favour invasion and thereby facilitate LDD. However, how and to what extent polyploidy interacts with LDD remain unclear. Here, we test the putative role of polyploidy in the global dispersal of a cosmopolitan genus Rorippa.LocationGlobal.Time PeriodLate Miocene to present.Major Taxa StudiedRorippa Scop., Brassicaceae.MethodsWe traced the biogeographical and speciation history for 17 diploids and 41 polyploids of Rorippa using variation from plastid genomes and multiple nuclear loci. The ploidy role in dispersal rate difference was demonstrated using trait‐dependent biogeographical modelling.ResultsLDD shaped the amphitropical disjunction of Rorippa, during which polyploids showed higher dispersal rates than those of diploids, with 5.6× increase under the best‐fitted model. Five diploids and 21 polyploids were identified as products of transoceanic speciation events. Polyploidy‐involved LDD was more common in terms of polyploidization following LDD than those preceding LDD.Main ConclusionsWe demonstrate that polyploidy would be not only a driver but also a responder of LDD in Rorippa, highlighting a synergistic relationship between them. Our results provide a framework to uncover the biogeographical consequences of polyploidization and the joint roles of polyploidy and LDD in shaping the distribution of biodiversity.

“…Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) is one of the most important biogeographical processes (Carlquist, 1966; Wu et al., 2023), shaping the global distribution of diversity in plants and animals (Luo et al., 2020; Wu et al., 2018). However, the underlying drivers of LDD are still elusive.…”

“…Global changes, including international trade, climate change, and land-use change (LUC), are direct drivers of biological invasion (Walther et al 2009; Pyšek et al 2020). The continuous increase in invasive alien plants (IAPs) is closely related to the globalization of trade in which landscape gardening and long-distance carriage of grass are introduced in grassland and agriculture (Wilson et al 2009;Ribeiro et al 2022;Wu et al 2023). More than 500 species of IAPs are traded daily worldwide (Humair et al 2015).…”

Context Sorghum halepense competes with crops and grass species in cropland, grassland, and urban, increasing invasion risk. However, invasive historical dynamics and distribution patterns of S. halepense associated with current and future climate change and land-use change (LUC) remain unknown. Objectives We first analyzed invasive historical dynamics of S. halepense to explore its invasion status and expansion trends. We then used species distribution model to examine whether future climate change and LUC will facilitate the invasion of S. halepense. Methods We reconstructed invasive historical countries of S. halepense based on databases with detailed recorded countries and occurrences. We run biomod2 based on climate data and land-use data at 5’ resolution, assessing the significance of environmental variables and LUC. Results Sorghum halepense was widely distributed worldwide through grain trade and forage introduction, except in Africa. Future global cropland and urban areas were expected to increase, yet grassland areas decreased. Europe and North America provided more the PGSH of S. halepense in cropland, grassland, and urban, covering 48.69%, 20.79%, and 84.82%, respectively. The future PGSH of S. halepense increased continuously in Northern Hemisphere, transferring to higher latitudes. Environmental variables were more significant than LUC in predicting the PGSH of S. halepense. Conclusions We constructed species distribution models associated with the near current and future environmental variables and LUC. Future PGSH of S. halepense was expected to increase, increasing invasion risk on agricultural LUC. These results are basic for the early warning and prevention of S. halepense worldwide.

“…Recent developments in GPS tracking and the modelling of spatial data allow for the estimation of seed dispersal patterns related to actual individual movements. Such an approach based on movement ecology is thought to be useful to detect long‐distance dispersal (Wu et al, 2022) and has been used, for instance, to predict potential seed dispersal patterns of weeds and other non‐native species by waterbirds in agricultural and urban landscapes (Kleyheeg et al, 2017; Martín‐Vélez et al, 2021, 2022). However, it has never been applied in remote islands, which are difficult to access and where this approach should work more effectively.…”

AimTo analyse the role of non‐frugivorous birds on seed dispersal, seed dispersal by gulls is expected to be especially instrumental in island ecosystems, as these have a smaller subset of frugivores when compared to the mainland, and because long‐distance dispersal is required for plant colonisation. Here, we investigated the seed dispersal of olives by gulls among 10 islands of the same archipelago to reveal if gulls contribute to long‐distance seed dispersal including different islands, and how gulls' adaptation to domestic olives and individual differences in foraging activities affect their seed dispersal pattern.LocationBalearic Islands in the Western Mediterranean Sea, Spain.TaxonYellow‐legged gulls (Larus michahellis), Domestic and wild Olives (Olea europaea and O. europaea var. sylvestris).MethodsWe developed seed dispersal models of the two ecotypes of olives dispersed by gulls across an archipelago, based on GPS tracking data, gut passage time and seed viability.ResultsMean dispersal distances were 7.67 (±12.48) km in wild and 12.57 (±13.08) km in domestic olives. 7.1% of wild and 8.5% of domestic olives were dispersed among islands. Among these, 8.2% of domestic seeds were transported from large to small islands where gull colonies are located, whereas wild olives were dispersed in more variable directions. Such dispersal pattern of two olive ecotypes was consistent despite the differences in dispersal distances among individuals.Main ConclusionsGulls contributed to long‐distance olive seed dispersal including different islands. The seed dispersal of domestic olives to longer distances with specific directions may facilitate colonisation and expansion of that variant if the conditions of seed deposition sites are suitable. Our findings indicate that gulls are relevant vectors for long‐distance dispersal of large fleshy fruits in island ecosystems where specialist large frugivores are absent.
