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 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.

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

Functional traits of seeds dispersed through endozoochory by native forest ungulates
Journal of Vegetation Science, 2016AbstractAimsZoochory is a prominent dispersal process in a wide range of plant species. However, the extent to which the trait composition of dispersed seed assemblages differs from the regional assemblage remains untested, as does the extent to which sympatric native herbivores disperse traits non‐randomly.LocationLorris and Montargis forests, central

Bird‐mediated endozoochory as a potential dispersal mechanism of bony fishes
EcographyThe dispersal of fish into distant and isolated habitats remains a topic of continuous discussion in the field of fish biogeography. This is particularly relevant due to the perceived limitation of fish movement to what is known as active dispersal.

Endozoochory by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) across a suburban/woodland interface
Forest Ecology and Management, 2008Abstract We examined the role of white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) in the dispersal of viable seeds in an intact forest bordered by medium-density housing in southern Connecticut. Estimated deer density on site was 23 deer/km 2 with higher local densities along the suburban/woodland interface. A total of 566 pellet groups were gathered in

بررسی رابطة خصوصیات مورفولوژیکی بذور گیاهان مراتع نیمهاستپی با Endozoochory
2015اندوزوخوری یکی از روشهای پراکنش بذر است. در این روش بذر از طریق گذر از سیستم گوارش دام انتقال و جوانهزنی و استقرار گیاهان افزایش مییابد. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی رابطه بین خصوصیات بذر و گذر از دستگاه گوارش دام به وسیلة حیوانات اهلی مختلف (گاو، گوسفند، و بز) در هفت گونه گراس چندساله، هشت گونه فورب چندساله، و سه گونه فورب یکساله در مراتع نیمهاستپی
