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.

Alien versus native weeds present in crops of Oranie (North West Algeria): A comparative study of their life-history traits [PDF]

, 2012
Algeria is the North African country with the largest number of alien weed species. The analy- sis of Oranie's weed flora showed 29 species of alien species which represents 1.62% from the 1,780 species of the whole spontaneous flora of the oranian ...

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.

Massive and effective acorn dispersal into agroforestry systems by an overlooked vector, the Eurasian magpie (Pica pica)

Ecosphere, 2019
Oak regeneration and the expansion of forested sites in Eurasia rely on acorn dispersal by animals, especially the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). However, in open agroforestry systems where jays are absent, such as old fields far from acorn sources,

Experimental approach on the contribution of wind and animal vectors in the dispersal and colonization of testate amoebae (Protista, Amoebozoa) in freshwater ecosystems [PDF]

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia
: Aim We aimed to understand how testaceous amoebae spread in new sites, assessing their dispersal potential by wind and animals in freshwater ecosystems. Methods We conducted a field experiment over 33 days between July and August 2018.

Effects of gut passage on the germination of seeds ingested by didelphid marsupials in a neotropical savanna

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2013
We analyzed the effects that passage through the guts of seven didelphid species had on the seed germination of 10 plant species. This study was conducted in an area of riparian woodland in a cerrado (savanna) reserve in southeastern Brazil.
