Data from: Endozoochory of aquatic ferns and angiosperms by mallards in Central Europe
1. Modern literature on plant dispersal by birds focuses mainly on the importance of frugivory and scatter-hoarding, yet recent studies show that endozoochory by migratory waterbirds is an important mechanism of long-distance dispersal for a broad range ...

Endozoochory by lowland tapirs improves seed germinability and accelerates germination time of native plant species in an Amazon-Cerrado transition restoration area [PDF]
Endozoochory 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

Are plant species able to keep pace with the rapidly changing climate?
Future climate change is predicted to advance faster than the postglacial warming. Migration may therefore become a key driver for future development of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

Constant gardeners: Endozoochory promotes repeated seedling recruitment in clonal plants [PDF]
[EN] Paradoxically, seedlings of clonal plants are rarely observed in nature, despite many of these species producing large amounts of seeds every fruiting season.

Endozoochory by mallard in New Zealand: what seeds are dispersed and how far? [PDF]
In Europe and North America waterfowl are major dispersers of aquatic and terrestrial plants, but in New Zealand their role has yet to be investigated. Mallards were introduced to New Zealand in the late 1800s, and today they are the most abundant and

Complementarity of epi‐ and endozoochory of plant seeds by free ranging donkeys
Epizoochory and endozoochory are well‐recognized long‐distance seed dispersal mechanisms, yet their relative importance has hardly been studied before. Here, epi‐ and endozoochory were compared on donkeys foraging in a species‐rich 100 ha coastal dune ecosystem, through in vitro germination of zoochorous material obtained by fur brushing and dung ...

Potential of soil seed bank and ungulate-mediated endozoochory in old field restoration:
Soil seed bank plays a key role in old field restoration because it provides information about plant species that may regenerate (Hopfensperger 2007).

Experimental Endozoochory of Cannabis sativa Achenes.
The mechanism by which Cannabis sativa dispersed from its center of origin remains an open question. The literature provides many hypotheses, which we review for the first time, but experiments are few. Darwin was interested in zoochory - the transport of plants by animals.

It was proposed previously that passive dispersal by migratory aquatic birds explain the widespread distribution of many wetland organisms. Several experimental studies have shown that many widespread wetland plant species can be readily dispersed within
