Zoochory on and off: A field experiment for trait‐based analysis of establishment success of grassland species

Journal of Vegetation Science, 2021
AbstractAimsWe tested the establishment success of grassland species in the presence or absence of zoochory by livestock and identified the traits associated with successful establishment.LocationHortobágy National Park, Hungary.MethodsIn six restored species‐poor grasslands we established two species‐rich 4 m × 4 m source plots per site in 2013.

Vegetation Re-development After Fen Meadow Restoration by Topsoil Removal and Hay Transfer [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the effects of different restoration treatments on the development of fen meadow communities: (1) depth of topsoil removal, with shallow (circa 20 cm) and deep (circa 40 cm) soil removal applied, (2) transfer of seed-containing hay, and ...

Owl-mediated diploendozoochorous seed dispersal increases dispersal distance and supports seedling establishment

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Seed dispersal is an essential process contributing to the maintenance of plant populations. Zoochory is a widespread way of plant dispersal in every terrestrial ecosystem that can ensure the long-distance dispersal of seeds.

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 ...

Vegetative and reproductive tree phenology of ecological groups in a tropical dry forest in central Veracruz, Mexico

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2016
Background Tree phenology has been related to abiotic and biotic factors that trigger and regulate phenological patterns. Question We investigated whether tree species classified into ecological groups of species of successional status (late-, early ...

Bird-plant interaction networks in native forests and eucalyptus plantations within a protected area

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2021
Frugivory is a plant-animal mutualistic interaction carried out mostly by birds. It consists in the bird consumption of fruits with later dispersion of the plants’ seeds, helping in the vegetation regeneration.

Síndromes de dispersão de diásporos das espécies de trechos de vegetação ciliar do rio das Pacas, Querência - MT Syndromes of diaspores dispersal of species of riparian vegetation of the river from Pacas, Querência - MT

Acta Amazonica, 2010
As adaptações das plantas, conforme seus agentes dispersores, correlacionam-se com as características morfológicas de cada espécie e família e com a região em que esta predomina, sendo que as sementes evoluíram de acordo com os dispersores.

Fruit function beyond dispersal: effect of fruit decomposition on the plant microbiome assembly. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The evolutionary role of fruits has primarily been linked to seed dispersal. However, their influence on the soil and plant microbiomes subsequent to their decomposition has received no attention. We hypothesized that fruit decomposition alters the soil microbiome, and consequently the plant microbiome and performance.

Are plant species able to keep pace with the rapidly changing climate? [PDF]

, 2013
Future climate change is predicted to advance faster than the postglacial warming. Migration may therefore become a key driver for future development of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.

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.
