Jul 1, 2002 · We have examined some physiological, ecological, and evolutionary consequences of one fundamental difference between animals and plants, namely, the fact that animals (but not plants) can use their behavior and mobility to evade environmental stresses and to maximize time in suitable environments.

While some exceptions exist, animals generally exhibit a higher degree of mobility than plants. Animals often possess specialized structures like muscles and limbs that facilitate movement, whereas plants are rooted in place.
Dec 12, 2018 · In this paper we have stayed close to animals ‘big-like-us’ , but rich pickings are visible amidst considerations of the mobilities of more alien animals, like the vampire squid (Flusser and Bec, 2012), as well as plants (Marder, 2015) and fungal spores (Tsing, 2014).
May 25, 2022 · Conceptually, movement began to draw attention in modern ecology because of its implications for reproduction, gene flow, and metapopulation dynamics; as such, studies on animal and plant dispersal constituted a large portion of the ecological literature on movement until the early 2000s [3 – 5].

Jun 22, 2021 · Plants may not move as far or as quickly as animals, but some of their movements achieve many of the same functional ends as those of animals [1,2]. Here we focus on circumnutation, a helical movement of elongating plant organs that has been investigated for decades [ 3 ].
