Dispersal of aquatic and terrestrial organisms by waterbirds: A review of current knowledge and future priorities
We review progress in our understanding of the importance of waterbirds as dispersal
vectors of other organisms, and identify priorities for further research. Waterbirds are …

Characteristics, main impacts, and stewardship of natural and artificial freshwater environments: consequences for biodiversity conservation
In this overview (introductory article to a special issue including 14 papers), we consider all
main types of natural and artificial inland freshwater habitas (fwh). For each type, we identify …

Ecosystem services provided by waterbirds
Ecosystem services are ecosystem processes that directly or indirectly benefit human well‐
being. There has been much recent literature identifying different services and the …

Beyond migration: causes and consequences of nomadic animal movements
Recent advances in animal tracking reveal that many species display irregular movements
that do not fall into classical categories of movement patterns such as range residency or …

How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds
G Incagnone, F Marrone, R Barone, L Robba… - Hydrobiologia, 2015 - Springer
Lakes and ponds are scattered on Earth's surface as islands in the ocean. The organisms
inhabiting these ecosystems have thus developed strategies to pass the barrier represented …

Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal
Plant dispersal syndromes are allocated based on diaspore morphology and used to predict
the dominant mechanisms of dispersal. Many authors assume that only angiosperms with …

Lignicolous freshwater fungi along a north–south latitudinal gradient in the Asian/Australian region; can we predict the impact of global warming on biodiversity and …
Fungi play a key role in decomposition of submerged wood in streams, breaking down
lignocelluloses and releasing nutrients, and are important in ecosystem functioning. These …

Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl
Aim Patterns of high biodiversity among less mobile organisms throughout isolated locations
suggest that passive dispersal importantly contributes to biodiversity. We examined the …

Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species
Dabbling ducks (Anatinae) are omnivorous birds that are widespread, numerous, highly
mobile and often migratory, and therefore have great potential for (long distance) dispersal …
