The ratio of stalk length to wing span controls whether linden diaspores autorotate, with a threshold near 0.5 doubling flight time by halving descent speed.
We also used synthetic diaspores with controlled geometrical properties for flight experiments

The seed-carrying stalk of the linden diaspore ensures autorotating flight
The ratio of stalk length to wing span controls whether linden diaspores autorotate, with a threshold near 0.5 doubling flight time by halving descent speed.
