ENDOZOOCHORY - THE SOURCE OF WEDDING OF AGRICULTURAL CROPS
Romanian Journal for Plant Protection, 2020 "One of the most important sources of weed infestation in agricultural crops is related to manure applied as biological fertilizer, when livestock growers don`t process it and don`t store it in order to be weeds - free. In manure there are lot of weed seeds from animal fodder, livestock bedding and also from animal excrements.

Endozoochory by Goats of Two Invasive Weeds with Contrasted Propagule Traits [PDF]
Sustainability, 2020 Invasive plants have very important ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Producing and dispersing many viable seeds are key plant functional traits for invaders. Ungulate grazing plays an important role in the endozoochorous seed dispersal within grasslands and rangelands.

Place of the Dromedary in the Ecological Balance of Its Saharan Ecosystem
Biology and Life Sciences Forum, 2023 The dromedary is the only breeding species capable of adapting to the harshness of its desert environment. It manages to reproduce, making the most of the very meagre floristic resources of the Saharan ecosystem.

Diversity, 2023 The success of plant reproduction is highly dependent on effective seed dispersal. This study aimed to evaluate the potential seed dispersal effectiveness of cattle for Malus sieversii. The impact of cattle on the dispersal quantity and dispersal quality

First evidence of bryophyte diaspores in the plumage of transequatorial migrant birds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 Correlations between transequatorial migratory bird routes and bipolar biogeographic disjunctions in bryophytes suggest that disjunctions between northern and southern high latitude regions may result from bird-mediated dispersal; supporting evidence is,

Endozoochory by lowland tapirs improves seed germinability and accelerates germination time of native plant species in an Amazon-Cerrado transition restoration area [PDF]
Acta AmazonicaEndozoochory by lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) is regarded as a key seed dispersal mechanism in tropical forests and thus potentially useful for ecological restoration. Although previous studies attested the germination ability of seeds defecated by

Diversity, 2022 Epi- and endozoochory are well explored phenomena that contribute to the distribution patterns of plant seeds, spores or fruits by vertebrates. It is less known how soil algae may be redistributed due to analogous interactions.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 It is well-known that some members of the crow family (Corvidae) are important for seed dispersal either via frugivory (e.g., when feeding on berries) or by scatter hoarding (e.g., of nuts). Dispersal via gut passage of seeds within a fleshy fruit can be

Endozoochory largely outweighs epizoochory in migrating passerines [PDF]
Journal of Avian Biology, 2013 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 (epizoochory).

Endozoochory varies with ecological scale and context
Ecography, 2007 Several studies on endozoochory have established large herbivores as important for seed dispersal, yet no studies have evaluated how endozoochory is dependent on ecological scale and context. Here we address effects of reindeer density on endozoochory in a hierarchical, multi‐scale study, encompassing several ecological contexts.
