Coyote and porcupine spread Russian olive seeds through endozoochory

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 2022
AbstractRussian 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.

Ecological correlates of endozoochory by herbivores

Functional Ecology, 2002
Summary1. 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;

Frugivorous birds dispersing braconid parasitoids via endozoochory

Entomological Science, 2008
AbstractAdult 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 ...

Endozoochory by the guild of ungulates in Europe’s primeval forest

Forest Ecology and Management, 2013
Abstract Seed dispersal by large herbivores helps to maintain the plant species diversity. Forest management and game management influence species composition and the structure of ungulate communities. This may disrupt ecological processes depending on services provided by animals.

Gut shuttle service: endozoochory of dispersal-limited soil fauna by gastropods

Oecologia, 2018
Numerous 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 granivorous rodents in seed dispersal of green fruits

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2019
Although 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.
