Seed Floras in Seabird Nests and the Possibility of Adhesion to Seabird Feathers via Their Nests
Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.Nests are important links between seabirds and plants, and are thought to initiate epizoochory of seabirds. 24 seed species were found in pelagic seabird nests, and 16 species of them had the potential to adhere to seabirds. Our finding indicates an overlooked pathway for the long distance dispersal of plants; epizoochory mediated by nests.
