Lichen endozoochory by snails. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Endozoochory plays a prominent role for the dispersal of seed plants. However, for most other plant taxa it is not known whether this mode of dispersal occurs at all.

Endozoochory of large bryophyte fragments by waterbirds [PDF]
Cryptogamie, Bryologie, 2017 We provide observations confirming that viable fragments of bryophytes are dispersed by migratory birds after surviving transit through the alimentary canal.

Experimental Endozoochory of Cannabis sativa Achenes
Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids, 2018 The 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.

Spitting Seeds From the Cud: A Review of an Endozoochory Exclusive to Ruminants [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Given their strong masticatory system and the powerful microbial digestion inside their complex guts, mammalian ruminants have been frequently considered seed predators rather than seed dispersers.

Endozoochory largely outweighs epizoochory in migrating passerines [PDF]
Journal of Avian Biology, 2014 Fruits and seeds are critical food sources for many European passerines during the autumn migration, which in turn contribute to disperse seeds either internally, i.e. after ingestion (endozoochory), or externally, when seeds adhere to the body surface

Endozoochory by beetles: a novel seed dispersal mechanism [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2011 † Background and Aims Due in part to biophysical sized-related constraints, insects unlike vertebrates are seldom expected to act as primary seed dispersers via ingestion of fruits and seeds (endozoochory).

Long term impacts of endozoochory and salinity on germination of wetland plants after entering simulated seed banks [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Migratory waterbirds disperse a broad range of angiosperms by endozoochory (seed dispersal via gut passage), especially plants in coastal wetlands. However, there is no previous information about the capacity of seeds to remain in the seed bank after ...

Is fern endozoochory widespread among fern-eating herbivores? [PDF]
Plant Ecology, 2016 Endozoochory 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.

The role of mucilage envelope in the endozoochory of selected plant taxa [PDF]
The Science of Nature, 2020 Myxodiaspory (formation of mucilage envelope around seeds and fruits) is a common adaptation to dry habitats known in many families of Angiosperms. The mucilage envelope of some seeds seems to be also a unique morphological adaptation which protects ...

Fern and bryophyte endozoochory by slugs [PDF]
Oecologia, 2013 Endozoochory plays a prominent role for the dispersal of seed plants, and dispersal vectors are well known. However, for taxa such as ferns and bryophytes, endozoochory has only been suggested anecdotally but never tested in controlled experiments. We fed fertile leaflets of three ferns and capsules of four bryophyte species to three slug species.
