Accepted Answer

Dispersal can occur on both ecological and evolutionary time scales. Dispersal is a common component of the life cycles of plants and animals, and plays an important role in the colonization of devastated areas after floods or volcanic eruptions. Seeds are important dispersal stages in the life cycles of most flowering plants, and the ability to disperse can expand the geographic distribution of a species.
