Endozoochory by native and exotic herbivores in dry areas: consequences for germination and survival of Prosopis seeds [PDF]
, 2008 Mammalian herbivores can play a role in the endozoochorous dispersal of Prosopis seeds in the arid zones of Argentina, and the introduction of exotic mammals can change relevant parameters of the plant's reproductive ecology.

Plant ecology meets animal cognition: impacts of animal memory on seed dispersal [PDF]
, 2016 We propose that an understanding of animal learning and memory is critical to predicting the impacts of animals on plant populations through processes such as seed dispersal, pollination and herbivory.

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.

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.

Internal and External Dispersal of Plants by Animals: An Aquatic Perspective on Alien Interference
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Many alien plants use animal vectors for dispersal of their diaspores (zoochory). If alien plants interact with native disperser animals, this can interfere with animal-mediated dispersal of native diaspores.

Forest Return on an Abandoned Field - Secondary Succession Under Monitored Conditions [PDF]
, 2011 The secondary succession pattern observed on an arable field abandoned since 1974 in Tilio-Carpinetum habitat is described and disscussed. Results obtained during 36 years of study confirm that succession on an abandoned field leads from a typical ...

Waterfowl endozoochory: An overlooked long‐distance dispersal mode for Cuscuta (dodder) [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 documented.

The role of mucilage envelope in the endozoochory of selected plant taxa [PDF]
The Science of Nature, 2020 AbstractMyxodiaspory (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 myxospermatic diaspores while passing through the bird’s digestive system.
