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

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 ...

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.

Can Ptilinopus greyii (Columbidae) Disperse Seeds in New Caledonia’s Dry Forests? [PDF]
, 2002 v. ill. 23 cm.QuarterlyConservation of endangered habitats of South Pacific islands is partially dependent on activity of seed dispersers. In consuming fruits, animals can spread seeds from parent plants to distant sites, thus contributing to plant ...

Experimental Endozoochory of Cannabis sativa Achenes.
Medical cannabis and cannabinoidsThe mechanism by which Cannabis sativa dispersed from its center of origin remains an open question. The literature provides many hypotheses, which we review for the first time, but experiments are few. Darwin was interested in zoochory - the transport of plants by animals.

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 ...

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 ...
