Abstract
Samantha Tol studied the dispersal strategies of tropical seagrasses. She found biotic dispersal of seagrass seeds by marine mega-herbivores, and that dispersed seeds have greater germination outcomes. This data will increase accuracy in seagrass dispersal and connectivity models and assist in determining appropriate seagrass management and restoration interventions.
