Biological Flora of the British Isles: Phragmites australis (2017, background): “In addition to wind and water, reed seeds are also dispersed by birds nesting and moving about in the reed, e.g. migratory Eurasian teals (Anas crecca L.; Brochet et al. 2009) and reednesting red-winged blackbirds (Agelaius phoeniceus L.; Marks, Lapin & Randall 1994b).”
Spatial extent, regional specificity and metacommunity structuring in lake macrophytes (2013, background): “…the majority of macrophytes use hydrological connections for the dispersal of propagules, overland dispersal of propagules via wind, waterfowl and other animals can be a widely used mechanism for dispersal in some aquatic macrophytes (Dahlgren & Ehrl en, 2005; Soons, 2006; Brochet et al., 2009).”
Field evidence of dispersal of branchiopods, ostracods and bryozoans by teal (Anas crecca) in the Camargue (southern France) (2009, background): “Largely due to the greater ease with which seeds can be identified, there is much more taxonomic information available as to which plants are dispersed by waterbirds (Green et al., 2002; Brochet et al., 2009a ).”
Passive external transport of freshwater invertebrates by elephant and other mud-wallowing mammals in an African savannah habitat (2011, background): “…were found for a potential importance of propagule size affecting dispersal ability, although this has been shown to be a limiting factor for passive dispersal in other systems and organisms (Salisbury, 1975; Meyer & Carlson, 2001; Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2009; but see Brochet et al., 2009, 2010a).”
Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species (2016, background): “…highly mobile on a daily basis and often migratory, and therefore have great potential for (long distance) dispersal of plants (Soons et al. 2008; Brochet et al. 2009; Viana et al. 2013; Kleyheeg et al. 2015), which is considered one of the vital ecosystem services they provide (Green & Elmberg…”
The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic alien and invasive species (2015, background): “Brochet et al. (2009) Literature review of dabbling duck diet Amaranthus albus Identified 14 plant species alien to Europe Eurasian Teal A. crecca; Northern Pintail; European Wigeon A. penelope; Mallard (25 diet studies); EU Amaranthus retroflexus Helianthus annuus Elaeagnus angustifolia* Oryza…”
Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “Most plant species dispersed by duck endozoochory are terrestrial (Soons et al. 2016, Lovas-Kiss et al. 2018), and have extensive latitudinal ranges covering a large fraction of migratory flyways (Brochet et al. 2009).”
Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: A review and perspective (2016, background): “Examples include both plant and invertebrate species (Charalambidou et al., 2003; Brochet et al., 2009; Munoz et al., 2013), although the effect of dispersal on humanmediated dispersal is often predominant or difficult to disentangle (Weisz and Yan, 2010; Van Leeuwen et al., 2013).”
