Mopane diaspores are not dispersed by epizoochory

African Journal of Ecology, 1997
The mode of dispersal of the diaspores of Colophospermum mopane has always been ascribed to epizoochory due the slightly sticky nature of mopane diaspores. The stickiness results from the plentiful supply of resinous compounds in developing structures on a mopane plant.

Epizoochory in a hedgerow habitat: seasonal variation and selective diaspore adhesion

Ecological Research, 2013
Abstract Epizoochory has been less studied than other seed dispersal mechanisms, such as endozoochory, and generally only a small percentage of plant species show adaptations to this strategy. Nevertheless, epizoochorous seed dispersal can affect an appreciable number of herb species in forests and man‐made ...

Adhesive grass spikelet with mammalian hair in Dominican amber: First fossil evidence of epizoochory

Experientia, 1992
Discovery of a female spikelet of the grass genus Pharus (Gramineae: Bambusoideae: Phareae) in association with mammalian hair in Dominican Republic amber provides the first fossil evidence of epizoochory. Hooked macrohairs on the lemma of the spikelet show that morphological modifications in grasses for dispersal by attachment to the surface of ...
