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.

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.

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication

, 2020
It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Plant dispersal by teal (Anas crecca) in the Camargue: duck guts are more important than their feet [PDF]

, 2010
12 páginas, 3 figuras, 4 tablas.1. Migratory waterbirds are major vectors for the dispersal of aquatic plants. However, quantitative field studies of the frequency of transport are scarce, and the relative importance of internal and external transport ...

Endozoochory by free-ranging, large herbivores: Ecological correlates and perspectives for restoration

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2005
Seed dispersal via ingestion and defecation by large herbivores provides a possible aid for ecological restoration of plant communities, by connecting source communities of target species with habitat restoration sites. It is also a possible threat due to invasion of weeds, grasses or exotic species.

Frugivory and Seed Dispersal by Carnivorans

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Seed dispersal is critical to the ecological performance of sexually reproducing plant species and the communities that they form. The Mammalian order Carnivora provide valuable and effective seed dispersal services but tend to be overlooked in much of ...
