Ecological correlates of endozoochory by herbivores
Functional Ecology, 2002Summary1. Many plant species germinate from herbivore dung. However, there has been little assessment of how widespread this dispersal mechanism is.2. A survey of the germinable seed in rabbit and sheep dung from 10 sites in the UK was used to identify the characteristics of species dispersed internally by animals.3. A wide range of species germinated;

Coyote and porcupine spread Russian olive seeds through endozoochory
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2022AbstractRussian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) is an invasive tree that has spread throughout much of the western United States. The mode of seed dispersal occurs by hydrochory and possibly by birds. Seed dispersal by frugivorous mammals has not been investigated.

Endozoochory by granivorous rodents in seed dispersal of green fruits
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2019Although the role of frugivores in seed dispersal has attracted scientific attention, it remains unclear whether granivorous rodents can act as frugivores to interact mutualistically with fruit-producing plants, especially those bearing green fruits inconspicuous to avian frugivores.

Seasonal patterns of endozoochory by cattle in subtropical grassland in southern Brazil
Austral Ecology, 2021AbstractSeed dispersal influences plant community dynamics and regeneration. Zoochory by cattle is a particularly important type of dispersal in grasslands, but still poorly understood in subtropical grasslands. We studied endozoochory in a native grassland area with different grazing intensities, defined by distinct forage allowance levels. On one day

Frugivorous birds dispersing braconid parasitoids via endozoochory
Entomological Science, 2008AbstractAdult braconid wasps (Bracon sp.) emerged from the droppings of frugivorous birds (Turdus blackbirds and thrushes) collected in a rural environment in southern Europe. It was thus demonstrated for the first time that an insect parasitoid of a fruit‐infesting insect (lepidopteran tortricid) can survive bird ingestion and gut passage inside a ...

Is fern endozoochory widespread among fern-eating herbivores?
Plant Ecology, 2015Endozoochory is an important dispersal mechanism for seed plants and has recently been demonstrated to occur also in spore plants, such as ferns, which are commonly consumed by herbivores. However, it is not known whether fern species from particular habitats are differentially preferred by herbivores and whether their spores differ in their ability to

Gut shuttle service: endozoochory of dispersal-limited soil fauna by gastropods
Oecologia, 2018Numerous important ecosystem functions and services depend on soil biodiversity. However, little is known about the mechanisms which maintain the vast belowground biodiversity and about the filters shaping soil community composition. Yet, biotic interactions like facilitation and dispersal by animals are assumed to play a crucial role, particularly as ...

Endozoochory by slugs can increase bryophyte establishment and species richness
Oikos, 2014Herbivory can affect plant community composition and diversity by removing biomass and reducing light competition. Herbivory may particularly benefit low growing species such as bryophytes, which are frequently limited by light competition. Gastropods are important herbivores of seed plants and cryptogams, furthermore, they can disperse propagules such
