Bryo‐zoophily: a new look at the ecology of moss and animal interactions
New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 2275-2299, December 2025.ABSTRACT Interactions between plants and animals often play a major role in the ecology of both partners. While such interactions are well studied in vascular plants such as angiosperms and gymnosperms, they are less well understood in bryophytes. However, an extensive search of the scientific literature reveals several cases of known and suspected ...
