Mistletoe seed dispersal by a marsupial
Nature, 2000The temperate forest that extends from 35° S to 55° S along the Pacific rim of southern South America is home to an endemic and threatened flora and fauna1. Many species belong to lineages that can be traced back to ancient Gondwanaland2,3, and there are some unusual interactions between plants and animals.

Pollen and seed dispersal among dispersed plants
Biological Reviews, 2005ABSTRACTThe ecological significance of spacing among plants in contributing to the maintenance of species richness, particularly in tropical forests, has received considerable attention that has largely focussed on distance ‐ and density‐dependent seed and seedling mortality.

In part three, on vegetation dynamics, it appeared that many species have become newly established in permanent plots in the study areas. Newly established species in a lot can have been present in the seed bank in the soil before emergence. This is only the case for species with a persistent seed bank sensu Thompson & Grime (1979).

Seed dispersal by kleptoparasitic flies
Current BiologySeed dispersal is critical for plant reproduction, and plays a key role in shaping ecosystems1. Most seed plants are animal dispersed1, largely by vertebrates - invertebrate-mediated dispersal is rarer and underexplored, apart from seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory), which disperse seeds of over 11,000 species2.

Functional Ecology
Abstract The process of seed dispersal that underpins ecosystem maintenance is performed by diverse arrays of fruit‐eating animals. However, seed dispersal studies are primarily focused on a subset of these animal communities that disperse seeds by endozoochory. Stomatochory (seed dispersal in which seeds are carried externally and are not swallowed)
