Image_1_Multiple External Seed Dispersers Challenge the Megafaunal Syndrome Anachronism and the Surrogate Ecological Function of Livestock.TIF

open access: yes, 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.

Can birds enhance the dispersal of freshwater macrocrustaceans? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The freshwater crustaceans, Crangonyx pseudogracilis, Atyaephyra desmaresti and Procambarus clarkii (hereby referred to as FCs) are non-native in several areas of their distribution range presumably due to human-mediated introductions.

Waterbird-mediated passive dispersal is a viable process for crayfish (Procambarus clarkii)

open access: yes, 2014
Human transport and active dispersal of the red-swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) contribute to its rapid spread. However, some small aquatic organisms can be transported by birds. We made two hypotheses related to waterbird-mediated passive dispersal

Can recently-hatched crayfish cling to moving ducks and be transported during flight?

open access: yes, 2015
The red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) is a freshwater invasive species which has become a worldwide problem. Recent work on ectozoochory of freshwater macrocrustacean species indicated that there might be a possibility of transport of recently ...
