Earthworm-mediated bryophyte dispersal: an experimental study

Journal of Bryology
Introduction. Similarly to tracheophytes, bryophytes benefit from zoochory as a mechanism for their dispersal, although this is not species specific or well explored.

Seedling dispersion and population structure of rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke) in Ucayali, Peru

Acta Amazonica
Aniba rosaeodora is a valuable species of the Amazon, being extensively logged to extract linalool - a secondary metabolite that fixes cosmetic perfumes, which has led to its overexploitation and near extinction.

First record of Chirocephalus carnuntanus (Brauer, 1877) (Branchiopoda, Anostraca) from Germany

Crustaceana
Herein we describe the first record of the Pannonian endemic Anostracan species Chirocephalus carnuntanus (Brauer, 1877) from northern Central Europe. The presence of the species was recorded approximately 25 km north of the city of Magdeburg (Germany ...

A New Method of Fruit Marking for Studies on Chiropterochory

Biotropica
We used edible glitter to mark 15,526 fruits of three chiropterochorous plants at 700, 1000, 2000, and 3200 m from a bat roost in Brazil's caatinga. Glitter from all distances was detected at the roost, allowing the identification of specific feeding ...

Squirrels as Green Allies to Human Resource Development Agenda on Pro-environmental Practices as the Fangs of Climate Change Rages on

Journal of Climate Change Society
Through a process known as “zoochory, scatter hoarding, or caching”, a squirrel gathers approximately about 10,000 nuts during the autumn season and have them kept underground.

Diversity and in situ Conservation Value of the Flora of the Marahoue Ranch in the Sub-sudanese Forest-savanna Contact Zone in Côte d'Ivoire

Annual Research & Review in Biology
Background: Plant formations such as ranches play a major role in the conservation of woody biodiversity. However, there is little data on the floristic composition and biodiversity conservation value of these ecosystems in Côte d'Ivoire.

The contribution of sheep zoochory to the conservation and restoration of target plant communities in isolated sand ecosystems

2008
The dispersal of seeds is crucial for the survival of many plant species. Fragmentation of the European cultural landscape and changes in land management, e.g. decrease of livestock numbers and lower mobility of livestock between different areas, have severely limited spatial dispersal processes, and thereby made a major contribution to the reduction ...

Metody studia zoochorie volně žijícími herbivory

2012
Epizoochory as well as endozoochory are well known dispersal mechanisms. This topic is being studied more and more often lately but our knowledge is still incomplete. The traits of plants dispersed this way are not yet well investigated and there is a gap in knowledge of mutual interaction between plant and animal species during transport.

Assessing Potential Zoochory Via Fish: Evaluating Seed Ingestion, Seed Germination, And Ecological Implications Across Feeding Guilds In A Temperate, Highly Developed River System; Flint River, Flint, MI

Seed dispersal by fish (ichthyochory) plays a crucial role in river ecosystems, influencing plant community dynamics, species distribution, and ecosystem connectivity. This study evaluated the potential for ichthyochory in the highly developed, temperate Flint River system (Flint, Michigan). This study focused on seed ingestion by fish and examined how
