Las especies exóticas presentan una ventaja competitiva durante la dispersión de semillas que realizan las aves acuáticas por endozoocoria
This new study underlines the important role of seed traits in the endozoochory potential of alien and native plant species, notably through their influence on retention time and germination.
Different waterfowl species eat (and disperse) different seeds, depending on where they feed
A study led by the Doñana Biological Station (EBD-CSIC) found that the first step in seed dispersal by waterfowl – seed ingestion – depends on seed availability in the waterfowl...
Grey herons as vectors of plant seeds and aquatic invertebrates
Our findings showcase the potential of predatory waterbirds as vectors of plants and invertebrates, and how they may facilitate connectivity between freshwater and terrestrial habitats.
Gulls and storks contribute to the dispersal of exotic invertebrate species between ricefields and protected areas
Scientists from Doñana Biological Station – EBD-CSIC have studied the role of waterbirds in the dispersion of invertebrates between habitats. The study has taken place in seven sites in...
A research study explores the role of parrots in the dispersal of seeds that get attached to their beaks and feathers
The Doñana Biological Station, along with other institutions, has recorded epizoochory events (seed dispersal via transportation on the outside of animals), involving 116 parrot species
