Propagule dispersal beyond local scales has been considered rare and unpredictable.
However, for many plants, invertebrates, and microbes dispersed by birds, long-distance …

Consistent individual tendencies in behaviour, or behavioural types, are likely to impact the
dynamics and outcomes of animal‐mediated seed dispersal. We review the extant literature …

Dabbling ducks (Anatinae) are omnivorous birds that are widespread, numerous, highly
mobile and often migratory, and therefore have great potential for (long distance) dispersal …

Aim How plants can disperse in response to global change is a critical question, yet major
knowledge gaps persist about long‐distance dispersal (LDD) mechanisms. We studied the …

Waterbirds disperse plant species via ingestion and egestion of seeds (endozoochory).
However, our understanding about the regulating effects of seed traits, underlying …

Shorebirds (Charadriiformes) undergo rapid migrations with potential for long‐distance
dispersal (LDD) of plants. We studied the frequency of endozoochory by shorebirds in …

The widespread distribution of fresh-water plants and of the lower animals, whether
retaining the same identical form or in some degree modified, I believe mainly depends on …

Dispersal via animals (zoochory) is a primary mechanism for seed exchange between
habitat patches. Recent studies have established that many plant species can survive …

Non‐frugivorous waterbirds disperse a wide variety of plants by endozoochory, providing
longer‐dispersal distances than other mechanisms. Many waterbirds visit both agricultural …

Endozoochory by waterfowl is important for a broad range of angiosperms, most of which
lack a fleshy fruit. This dispersal function contributes to the formation and maintenance of …
