Herb endozoochory by cockatoos: Is ‘foliage the fruit’? [PDF]
Austral Ecology, 2020 Establishing whether herb seed endozoochory is accidental or has evolved independently or in combi-nation with other dispersal mechanisms may be valuable in the study of plant–animal interactions, but it remains unexplored for birds. We tested whether an

Inter-Annual Variation in Characteristics of Endozoochory by Wild Japanese Macaques [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 森にタネをまくニホンザルの役割は、年によって変化する. 京都大学プレスリリース. 2014-10-02.Endozoochory is important to the dynamics and regeneration of forest ecosystems. Despite the universality of inter-annual variation in fruit production, few studies have addressed the sign (seed ...

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.

Endozoochory decreases environmental filtering imposed to seedlings [PDF]
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2012 Questions: Recruitment microsites are imposed on plants, first by seed dispersal and then by the environment. Different seed dispersal vectors could decrease or increase the environmental filtering imposed on seedlings, depending on their specificity to ...

Endozoochory by granivorous rodents in seed dispersal of green fruits
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 2018 Although the role of frugivores in seed dispersal has attracted scientific attention, it remains unclear whether granivorous rodents can act as frugivores to interact mutually with fruit-producing plants, especially those bearing green fruits ...

Potential dispersal of aquatic snails by waterbird endozoochory in neotropical wetlands
Biota Neotropica, 2022 Waterbird-mediated zoochory is one of the main ecological mechanisms by which non-flying freshwater invertebrates can disperse between isolated wetlands.

Endozoochory by slugs can increase bryophyte establishment and species richness
Oikos, 2015 Herbivory 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.

Waterfowl endozoochory: an overlooked long-distance dispersal mode for Cuscuta (dodder, Convolvulaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2016 PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Dispersal of parasitic Cuscuta species (dodders) worldwide has been assumed to be largely anthropomorphic because their seeds do not match any previously known dispersal syndrome and no natural dispersal vectors have been reliably ...

Inferring Endozoochory From Ingestion to Germination Through Biological Filters: Brown Bear Feces as a Case Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolInternational audienceDiaspore (e.g., seed and spore) dispersal is recognized as a key mechanism in plant dynamics, including endozoochory, which can be a risky journey for diaspores. Endozoochory is achieved when diaspores are consumed and may germinate

A review of plant phenolics and endozoochory. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstract Phenolic compounds (phenolics) are secondary metabolites ubiquitous across plants. The earliest phenolics are linked to plants' successful transition from an aquatic to a terrestrial environment, serving as protection against damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and as antioxidants to reduce oxidative ...
