Inter-Annual Variation in Characteristics of Endozoochory by Wild Japanese Macaques
PLoS ONE, 2014 Endozoochory is important to the dynamics and regeneration of forest ecosystems. Despite the universality of inter-annual variation in fruit production, few studies have addressed the sign (seed predation versus seed dispersal) and strength (frequency and quantity) of fruit-frugivore interaction and the effectiveness of endozoochory in response to the ...

Opportunistic scatter hoarders and frugivores: the role of mammals in dispersing Prosopis flexuosa in the Monte desert, Argentina [PDF]
, 2015 Los bosques de Prosopis flexuosa proporcionan múltiples bienes y servicios. Actualmente, sufren una fuerte retracción debido a un uso histórico extractivista y se hace necesario promover la conservación y el manejo sostenible de los bosques como sistema.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods
Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 14, Issue 1, January-February 2026.Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

A Comprehensive Model for the Quantitative Estimation of Seed Dispersal by Migratory Mallards
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Long-distance seed dispersal is an important ecosystem service provided by migratory animals. Plants inhabiting discrete habitats, like lakes and wetlands, experience dispersal limitation, and rely heavily on zoochory for their spatial population ...

Fate of recombinant DNA and Cry1Ab protein after ingestion and dispersal of genetically modified maize in comparison to rapeseed by fallow deer ( Dama dama ) [PDF]
, 2018 The fate of recombinant DNA in fallow deer (Dama dama) was investigated by feeding a diet of isogenic or genetically modified (GM) maize expressing Cry1Ab protein against the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis).

Driver's Seat: Understanding Divergent Zoochorous Dispersal of Propagules
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The functional role, relative importance, and the spatial and temporal parameters of different vector species, which underpin the passive dispersal (zoochory) of organisms (or their propagules), are frequently poorly understood. Accordingly, a conceptual

Endozoochory of seeds and invertebrates by migratory waterbirds in Oklahoma, USA
Limnetica, 2013 Given their abundance and migratory behavior, waterbirds have major potential for dispersing plants and invertebrates within North America, yet their role as vectors remains poorly understood. We investigated the numbers and types of invertebrates and seeds within freshly collected faecal samples (n = 22) of migratory dabbling ducks and shorebirds in ...

Evolution Letters, 2020 Despite being one of the most diverse families, scant attention has been paid to the seed dispersal system in Orchidaceae, owing to the widely accepted notion that wind dispersal is the dominant strategy.

How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds [PDF]
, 2014 Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth’s surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented by the surrounding land, disperse and colonise new environments.
