The Effects of Mammalian Herbivores on Successional Grasslands in Central Illinois
Neither rabbit endozoochory nor rodent granivory affected plant communities in any successional stage. Rodents did not prefer larger seeds. Herbivory by rabbits and rodents influenced the plant communities more than did consumption or dispersal of seeds. Both groups of animals reduced abundance of …

The effects of mammalian herbivores on successional grasslands in central Illinois
… herbivore. I expected effects of granivory and endozoochory to be stronger in early succession than in mid- or late succession because plant recruitment by seeds is more important in early succession. I used exc10sures that allowed access to different combinations of animals to assess the impact …

Seed dispersal of western and Utah junipers: the role of scatter-hoarding rodents.
… found to disperse some juniper species through endozoochory by consuming juniper cones and passing intact seeds in their feces. However, seed dispersal in many other juniper species is not fully understood. Scatter-hoarding rodents have been recorded removing seeds and/or cones of several …

The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic organisms in southern Africa
… and viability of propagules transported via endozoochory and ectozoochory. I then assess the relative contributions of each dispersal mode to the dispersal of plants and aquatic invertebrates in the field. I show that endozoochory is the dominant dispersal mechanism, but it may be …

A comparison of seedling diversity and abundance in the range of howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata) in Bocas del Toro, Panama
… whether they arrived there via howler monkey endozoochory. I also examined the effects of secondary dispersers such as dung beetles and rodents, and offer suggestions for strengthening this research for future study. This study contributes to our knowledge of how howler monkeys contribute to …

Seed dispersal by black-backed Jackals (Canis mesomelas) and hairy-footed gerbils (Gerbillurus spp.) of !nara (Acanthosicyos horridus) in the central Namib Desert
… dispersal of !nara. The combined interaction of endozoochory by Black-backed Jackals (Canis mesomelas) and synzoochory by hairy-footed gerbils (Gerbillurus spp.) in dispersing seeds of !nara plants (Acanthosicyos horridus) in the central Namib Desert suggest diplochory is highly likely.

Hlutverk grasbíta í frædreifingu á hálendi Austurlands
Frædreifing með aðstoð dýra er mikilvægt ferli innan vistkerfa. Algengt er að aldinætur dreifi fræjum. Einnig er þekkt að grasbítar dreifi fræjum þegar þeir borða plöntur og innbyrða fræ þeirra í leiðinni en ekki er ljóst hversu útbreidd sú aðferð við frædreifingu er. Frædreifing með grasbítum …
