Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal [PDF]
Oikos, 2021 Plant dispersal syndromes are allocated based on diaspore morphology and used to predict the dominant mechanisms of dispersal. Many authors assume that only angiosperms with endozoochory, epizoochory or anemochory syndromes have a long‐distance dispersal (LDD) mechanism.

Biology Letters, 2023 Understanding how obligate freshwater organisms colonize seemingly isolated ecosystems has long fascinated ecologists. While recent investigations reveal that fish eggs can survive the digestive tract of birds and successfully hatch once deposited, evidence for avian zoochory in natura is still lacking.

Seeds and the City: The Interdependence of Zoochory and Ecosystem Dynamics in Urban Environments [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 The increasing urban sprawl has contributed to the extensive fragmentation and reduction of natural habitat worldwide. Urbanization has a range of adverse effects on ecosystem functioning, including the disruption of plant dispersal processes across the landscape.

ZOOCHORY AND PECULIARITIES OF FOREST COMMUNITY FORMATION: A REVIEW [PDF]
Russian Journal of Ecosystem Ecology, 2017 Based on the analysis of the literature on the home range of animals, information on the distances of diaspore dispersals by animals is provided for plants of coniferous-broadleaved forests. Mass and moderate dispersals of diaspores are important for formation of plant communities.

Effects of zoochory on the spatial genetic structure of plant populations [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2017 AbstractSpatial genetic structure (SGS) of plants results from the nonrandom distribution of related individuals.SGSprovides information on gene flow and spatial patterns of genetic diversity within populations. Seed dispersal creates the spatial template for plant distribution.

Is the spread of the alien water boatman Trichocorixa verticalis verticalis (Hemiptera, Corixidae) aided by zoochory and drought resistant eggs? [PDF]
Freshwater Biology, 2020 Abstract Desiccation resistance is a key trait determining the distribution of aquatic insects, their potential for overland dispersal, and survival during drought periods in temporary waterbodies, as well as the spread of invasive species. Passive dispersal by waterbirds is considered to be a key process favouring the spread of invasive species and ...

Herbivore-induced expansion of Helianthemum nummularium in grassland–scrub mosaic vegetation: circumstantial evidence for zoochory and indirect grazing impact [PDF]
Plant Ecology, 2017 Extensive grazing often has a strong influence on the structure and composition of herbaceous plant communities with increasing population sizes for some species and decreasing presence in others. Herbivores affect plant communities directly by selective grazing of plant species, and indirectly by either epizoochory or endozoochory.

Effects of past pollution on zoochory in a recovering mixed temperate—boreal forest
Écoscience, 2012 In landscapes perturbed by industrial mining, seed dispersal limitations could affect the potential for forest recovery. We measured seed removal in different vegetation layers by different dispersal vectors to examine the potential for natural recovery of a severely stressed forest in Greater Sudbury, Canada.

Zoochorie et premiers stades de la régénération naturelle après coupe en forêt guyanaise
Revue d'Écologie (La Terre et La Vie), 1984 Processes leading to forest regeneration in a mature rain forest of French Guiana were studied on six plots representing initial stages of regeneration, from 2 to 10 years following clear-cutting. The first woody species to appear in plots after tree felling are light demanding species growing from seeds remaining dormant in the rain forest soil.
