Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2004 Los escasos trabajos de interacción planta-herbívoro en ambientes severos han concluido que los herbívoros tienen un rol menor sobre el proceso de colonización en los estados tempranos de la sucesión.

Threats to Nature's Contributions to People Provided by Terrestrial Vertebrates Across Europe
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Species and ecosystem processes provide essential benefits to people, known as Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). However, we still lack a comprehensive understanding of NCP provided by terrestrial vertebrates on a macroecological scale, and of the threats they face. To address this, we built a comprehensive dataset that documents the

Zoochorous dispersal of freshwater bivalves: an overlooked vector in biological invasions?
Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2017 Vectors that underpin the natural dispersal of invasive alien species are frequently unknown. In particular, the passive dispersal (zoochory) of one organism (or propagule) by another, usually more mobile animal, remains poorly understood.

Beyond Habitat: How Anuran Skin Texture Shapes Plant Dispersal in Neotropical Wetlands
Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Dispersal is a key process structuring wetland plant communities, yet epizoochory by amphibians remains a little‐known mechanism of passive plant dispersal. This study evaluated the potential role of Neotropical anurans as vectors of plant propagules through external adhesion in coastal wetlands.

Seedling establishment after endozoochory in disturbed and undisturbed grasslands
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2006 Summary Local plant community composition and structure may be largely influenced by germination and seedling establishment from seeds dispersed in animal dung, through seed input, gap creation and nutrient enrichment. With an experimental approach we assessed (1) what the effect is of dung deposition on the number of seedlings in the plant community

Climate Predicts Tree Dispersal Strategies Across Brazil's Ecosystems
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim We investigate the distribution of dispersal modes—endozoochory (via animal ingestion), synzoochory (via animal seed accumulation) and anemochory (via wind)—and seed mass of woody plants across Brazilian ecosystems, testing whether their relative abundance in local plant communities could be predicted by climate, edaphic factors and ...

The Contribution of Endozoochory to the Colonization and Vegetation Composition of Recently Formed Sand Coastal Dunes [PDF]
, 2007 The objective of this study was to determine whether endozoochory contributes to the dispersal and colonization of plant species in recently formed coastal dunes.

Physiological dormancy broken by endozoochory: Austral parakeets (Enicognathus ferrugineus) as legitimate dispersers of calafate (Berberis microphylla) in the Patagonian Andes [PDF]
, 2020 [Aims]: Seed dispersal by endozoochory is an important process in plant regeneration and the establishment of new populations. Seeds with dormancy may especially benefit after disperser gut passage.

The spread of non‐native species
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1197-1234, June 2026.ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
