Long distance dispersal and the ability to delay germination under unfavourable conditions (dormancy) are critical for plant persistence and range expansion. However, how dispersal syndrome and dormancy interactively shape maximum dispersal distance and species range size across climate regions remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that a trade-off between dormancy and dispersal distance operates differently in animal-mediated versus abiotic dispersal systems, and that climate modulates their influence on range size.
