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 ...

The fate of seeds in dispersal through ungulates: costs and benefits to dry-fruited plants = Het lot van zaden bij verbreiding door hoefdieren: kosten en baten voor planten met droge vruchten [PDF]
, 2011 Large herbivorous mammals abundantly disperse seeds through ingestion and subsequent excretion (endozoochory). Although a widely acknowledged means of dispersal, we still lack a good understanding of its ecological consequences for seeds, let alone of ...

Unlikely allies: Camel crickets play a role in the seed dispersal of an Asian autotrophic shrub
Plants, People, PlanetSocietal Impact Statement Dust seeds, which are minute and contain minimal energy reserves, are often associated with heterotrophy (plants that obtain carbon without photosynthesis). Consequently, previous studies have mainly focused on the relationships

Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species [PDF]
, 2016 1. Dabbling ducks (Anatinae) are omnivorous birds that are widespread, numerous, highly mobile and often migratory, and therefore have great potential for (long distance) dispersal of other organisms, including plants.

Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent
Plants, People, PlanetSocietal Impact Statement Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated ...
