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

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.

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,

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

PLoS ONE, 2019 The widely accepted "endozoochory syndrome" is assigned to angiosperm diaspores with a fleshy, attractive tissue and implies the existence of adaptations for protection against digestion during gut passage. This syndrome has led diaspore fleshiness to be

Seed dispersal by the cosmopolitan house sparrow widens the spectrum of unexpected endozoochory by granivore birds. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn the intricate web of plant–animal interactions, granivore birds can play a dual antagonist–mutualist role as seed predators and dispersers. This study delves into the ecological significance of the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) as seed disperser ...

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 of the same community of plants lacking fleshy fruits by storks and gulls [PDF]
, 2020 Aims Research into the dispersal of plants lacking a fleshy fruit by avian endozoochory remains limited, particularly regarding the different roles of specific vectors in the same habitat. Methods We compared plants dispersed by endozoochory between
