Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Oikos, EarlyView.Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Plant dispersal strategies in post-mining restoration areas in the Eastern Amazon [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaMining activities in the Amazon result in significant environmental damage to mined areas. Natural regeneration through seed dispersal is a crucial process that aims to reintegrate those mined areas into the native vegetation nearby.

Impacts of Highland cattle browsing on encroaching Alnus viridis shrubs
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction In several European mountain chains, the expansion of the tall shrub Alnus viridis into mountain pastures has altered vegetation structure and composition, reduced plant species diversity, and diminished forage quality. Recent woody encroachment research has explored the use of robust livestock breeds, such as Highland cattle (Bos

Journal of Plankton Research, 2019 Abstract Harsh and unstable aquatic environments present selective forces that influence environmental heterogeneity, dispersal capacity and specific life history strategies that, in turn, affect species distribution and metacommunity dynamics.

Flora and Annual Distribution of Flowers and Fruits in the Ubajara National Park, Ceará, Brazil
Floresta e Ambiente, 2020 Although the conservation of tropical biodiversity depends on protected areas, there is still a very large ‘gap’ of knowledge on the flora of Brazilian reserves, especially in the Northeast region of Brazil.

Donkeys as mobile links for plant seed dispersal in coastal dune ecosystems [PDF]
, 2005 Long-distance seed dispersal is a key factor in vegetation dynamics, especially in highly dynamic ecosystems such as dune landscapes. To assess the role of large herbivores in long-distance seed dispersal in dunes, we examined epi- and endozoochory by ...

“Step by step”: high frequency short-distance epizoochorous dispersal of aquatic macrophytes [PDF]
, 2016 Aquatic macrophytes can successfully colonise and re-colonise areas separated by space and time. The mechanisms underlying such “mobility” are not well understood, but it has often been hypothesised that epizoochory (external dispersal) plays an ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.
