• Ecological correlates of seed survival after ingestion by Fallow Deer (2005, background): “In addition these species can quickly establish on the open nutrient-rich habitat that dung pats create (Malo & Suarez 1995a, Dai 2000 ).”
• Factors and processes affecting plant biodiversity in permanent grasslands. A review (2011, unknown): “Manure in dung piles increases the availability of soil nutrients, especially nitrogen and phosphorus (Aarons et al. 2004) and favors the conservation of humidity (Dai 2000).”
• Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “Large herbivores provide effective dispersal via endo-and epi-zoochory, releasing diaspores into suitable habitats (Janzen 1984, D’hondt et al. 2012), where they can germinate, be secondarily dispersed or enter the seed-bank (Dai 2000, Heinken et al. 2006, Jaroszewicz 2013).”
• Impact of different-sized herbivores on recruitment opportunities for subordinate herbs in grasslands (2003, background): “Because bulk feeders quantitatively consume a lot of seeds, they have more chance to include subordinate species compared to smaller herbivores hence promoting their dispersal (Malo & Suarez 1995b; Dai 2000).”
• Germination success of temperate grassland species after passage through ungulate and rabbit guts (2005, background): “The 19 plant species, which occur regularly in seminatural grassland communities in Western Europe, have been shown to germinate from dung samples of free ranging herbivores.”
• Endozoochorous seed dispersal by cattle and horse in a spatially heterogeneous landscape (2005, background): “…in the species pool though seedlings of e.g. Helianthemum nummularium and Galium mollugo on dung were also mentioned by Müller-Schneider (1954) and H. nummularium, G. verum, Plantago lanceolata andTrifolium campestre by Dai (2000), suggesting their ability to survive the gastro-intestinal tract.”
