Fit of the observed data to a one-dimensional exponential power distribution with parameters δ and b.

Minimum (min) and maximum (max) pollen dispersal distances observed (in meters). δ: mean dispersal distance travelled by the pollen/seed (in meters), b: shape parameter. Mean parameter values and confidence intervals at 95% (numbers within brackets) were obtained after 1000 bootstrap resampling (see Fig. 6: pollen dispersal distributions (observations and confidence intervals) and Fig. 7: seed dispersal distributions (observations and confidence bands)).
