Data from: Endozoochory of aquatic ferns and angiosperms by mallards in Central Europe

, 2018
1. Modern literature on plant dispersal by birds focuses mainly on the importance of frugivory and scatter-hoarding, yet recent studies show that endozoochory by migratory waterbirds is an important mechanism of long-distance dispersal for a broad range ...

Constant gardeners: Endozoochory promotes repeated seedling recruitment in clonal plants [PDF]

[EN] Paradoxically, seedlings of clonal plants are rarely observed in nature, despite many of these species producing large amounts of seeds every fruiting season.

Bedeutung der Megaherbivoren-Beweidung für die Renaturierung artenreicher Feuchtgrünländer auf ehemaligen Ackerflächen [PDF]

, 2013
Species-rich wet grasslands in floodplains are on focus of European nature conservation policy. However, since the seventies of the last century large areas with grasslands in floodplains have been meliorated, ploughed and used for intensive cropping in ...

Relationships between Prosopis flexuosa (Fabaceae) and cattle in the Monte desert: Seeds, seedlings and saplings on cattle-use site classes Interacciones entre Prosopis flexuosa (Fabaceae) y el ganado en el desierto de Monte: Semillas, plántulas y renovales en los sitios de uso del ganado

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2011
The fate of Prosopis flexuosa seeds dispersed by cattle is dependant on the spatial pattern of dung deposition and foraging movements. We hypothesised that cattle-use site classes explain the response variables related to seed input and fate of seeds ...

Potential of soil seed bank and ungulate-mediated endozoochory in old field restoration:

, 2020
Soil seed bank plays a key role in old field restoration because it provides information about plant species that may regenerate (Hopfensperger 2007).

Experimental evidence of ciliate dispersal and successional patterns via endozoochory in temporary aquatic systems

Temporary aquatic ecosystems in Mediterranean regions rely on passive dispersal to maintain connectivity among isolated habitats. In Doñana National Park, Spain, aquatic birds enhance this connectivity by dispersing microbial propagules via endozoochory.

A new hypothesis for the importance of seed dispersal in time

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2011
Most studies on seed dispersal in time have focused on seed dormancy and the physiological triggers for germination. However, seed dispersed by animals with low metabolic and moving rates, and long gutpassage times such as terrestrial turtles, could be ...

Endozoochory in the subtropical thicket: comparing effects of species with different digestive systems on seed fate [PDF]

, 2007
Endozoochory is an important form of seed dispersal and as such plays a fundamental role in plant population and community ecology. This is especially true in the Subtropical Thicket biome where many plant species are adapted for endozoochory ...
