Endozoochory by brown bears stimulates germination in bilberry [PDF]
The understory vegetation of the Eurasian boreal forest is dominated by several ericaceous species (e.g. bilberry Vaccinium myrtillus). These species invest large amounts of energy in their sexual reproduction by producing seed-containing berries, which ...

Endozoochory of aquatic ferns and angiosperms by mallards in Central Europe [PDF]
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 of ...

Peduncles elicit large-mammal endozoochory in a dry-fruited plant [PDF]
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plants have evolved a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms to overcome lack of mobility. Many species embed seeds in fleshy pulp to elicit endozoochory, i.e. disseminating seed through the animal gut.

Seed mass, hardness, and phylogeny explain the potential for endozoochory by granivorous waterbirds [PDF]
Field studies have shown that waterbirds, especially members of the Anatidae family, are major vectors of dispersal by endozoochory for a broad range of plants lacking a fleshy fruit, yet whose propagules can survive gut passage.

Potential and realised contribution of endozoochory to seedling establishment
Abstract Many plant species have been shown to be dispersed by large herbivores through endozoochory, but there have been few studies that have demonstrated the ecological significance of this dispersal method. Known quantities of seeds were fed to sheep and the emergence of seeds germinating from dung in the field and glasshouse were compared with ...
