Note that estimates were obtained as multimodel averages.

δ, mean dispersal distance; b, shape parameter; s.e., standard error (computed taking into account both the within- and between-models uncertainty); Σwm, relative probability of the model estimated as a sum of Akaike weights for a given dispersal model across all competing dispersal models of the opposite-sex propagule (i.e. seeds vs. pollen).
