Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl (2012, background): “…water flows limited to river channels or flood occurrence (Jacquemyn et al., 2010; Pollux, 2011), irregular anthropogenic activities (Wichmann et al., 2009; Waterkeyn et al., 2010; Kappes & Haase, 2011) or slower, less abundant non-avian animals (Bilton et al., 2001; Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008).”
Unintentional dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via footwear and motor vehicles in a Mediterranean wetland area (2010, background): “…(Green and Figuerola, 2005), wind (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008a), amphibians (Bohonak and Whiteman, 1999), aquatic insects (Van de Meutter et al., 2008), mammals (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008b; A. Waterkeyn, unpublished data) and water connections (Michels et al., 2001; Hulsmans et al., 2007).”
Passive external transport of freshwater invertebrates by elephant and other mud-wallowing mammals in an African savannah habitat (2011, background): “We decided to focus on external rather than internal transport, since previous research on wild boar in Europe suggested that external transport is likely to be more important in terms of number and diversity of propagules transported than internal transport (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008c).”
How do freshwater organisms cross the “dry ocean”? A review on passive dispersal and colonization processes with a special focus on temporary ponds (2015, background): “Overflows after heavy rain were demonstrated to be effective in mediating propagule dispersal among rock pool metacommunities (Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2008a; Meier & Soininen, 2014) and dispersal by surface waters (hydrochory) like that occurring in floodplains or during the rice-fields inundation…”
Field evidence of dispersal of branchiopods, ostracods and bryozoans by teal (Anas crecca) in the Camargue (southern France) (2009, background): “In addition, Vanschoenwinkel et al. (2008a) showed in the Camargue that ostracods are transported on the outside of wild boar Sus scrofa.”
