The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic organisms in southern Africa [PDF]
, 2016 Dispersal is a fundamental process with far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. Not all organisms are capable of dispersing on their own and instead produce propagules that must be transported to new habitat by a vector.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 573-590, April 2024.Abstract In many regions, climatic drying is shortening hydroperiods and freshwater biodiversity is declining. Aquatic species that lack a desiccation‐resistant life stage are predicted to have the least ability to persist in drying climates, yet such species may occur in intermittent waterbodies.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 112-126, January 2024.Abstract Isopods play many important roles within freshwater ecosystems (including as shredders, prey, and detritivores), yet we know little about their responses to disturbance or whether they vary among populations. In a region undergoing severe climatic drying that is changing hydrological regimes in wetlands, we compared responses to drying ...

Ectozoochory as a possible vector enhancing the spread of an alien amphipod Crangonyx pseudogracilis
, 2014 Most studies of biological invasions refer to the human role in species dispersal but the importance of ectozoochory has scarcely been studied. Thus, we investigated whether the first alien amphipod species found in the Iberian Peninsula, North American ...

, 2002 1. Inland wetlands constitute ecological islands of aquatic habitat often isolated by huge areas of non-suitable terrestrial habitats. Although most aquatic organisms lack the capacity to disperse by themselves to neighbouring catchments, many ...

Plant traits co-vary with altitude in grasslands and forests in the European Alps
, 2010 Biological traits that are advantageous under specific ecological conditions should be present in a large proportion of the species within an ecosystem, where those specific conditions prevail.

The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of freshwater cladocera and bryozoa in southern Africa
, 2017 It has long been presumed that waterbirds disperse the propagules of aquatic organisms. However, it is only in recent years that this claim has been empirically explored and little is still known about waterbird-mediated dispersal in southern Africa ...

Possibilities of land snail endodispersion via bird gut [PDF]
, 2019 English abstract Passive dispersal is a fundamental mode of land snail dispersal as their ability of active dispersal is very limited. Birds are considered to be important vectors of snail dispersal for a long time.

, 2019 The dispersal of many large-seeded plants is thought to have been handicapped by the extinction of megafauna in the late Pleistocene, and due to the ongoing defaunation of the largest of the extant dispersers.
