Direct evidence for intercontinental dispersal of a snail via a bird
Long‐distance dispersal (LDD) is a critical process in the distribution of less‐migratory
organisms. Migratory birds are considered the principal vector of LDD, especially over …

Migratory geese allow plants to disperse to cooler latitudes across the ocean
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 …

Traits for transport: alien wetland plants gain an advantage during endozoochorous seed dispersal by waterfowl
The expansion of alien plant species is of global concern, yet our understanding of their
dispersal mechanisms is limited. Here we address the potential of alien plant seeds to …

Plant traits associated with seed dispersal by ducks and geese in urban and natural habitats
Ducks and geese are little studied dispersal vectors for plants lacking a fleshy fruit, and our
understanding of the traits associated with these plants is limited. We analyzed 507 faecal …
