Passive internal transport of aquatic organisms by waterfowl in Doñana, south-west Spain (2003, background): “ Green et al . (2002) recently speculated that species with a high lamellar density can be particularly important as vectors of small resting eggs that can resist digestion.”
Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl (2012, background): “…directed movements of waterbirds between ecologically similar wetlands make them particularly suitable transport vectors (Figuerola & Green, 2002; Green et al., 2002; Bohonak & Jenkins, 2003; Nathan et al., 2008), especially relative to more random dispersal by vectors such as wind (Jenkins &…”
Climate Change and the Future of Freshwater Biodiversity in Europe: A Primer for Policy-Makers (2009, background): “…studied together, sometimes this is the case (for example, in small farmland ponds, Declerck et al., unpublished manuscript), but often it is not (Green et al., 2002a; Declerck et al., 2005) and where it is, the reasons for a particular diversity may not be the same for different groups (Hawkins…”
Recent advances in the study of long‐distance dispersal of aquatic invertebrates via birds (2005, background): “Long-distance dispersal is not restricted to major bird movements during spring and autumn migrations and can occur at any time of the annual cycle (Green et al., 2002b).”
Dormancy in freshwater zooplankton: Induction, termination and the importance of benthic-pelagic coupling (2004, background): “This recorded toughness of zooplankton diapausing eggs, and the observations of ephippia found in the guts of planktivorous fish and in the guts and feces of birds, implies the possibility of passive dispersal to systems that active zooplankton stages are unable to reach (Malone, 1965; Mellors, 1975”
Small seed size increases the potential for dispersal of wetland plants by ducks (2008, background): “Ducks often fly tens of kilometres between feeding and roosting sites and show high regional mobility, especially during winter, which is also the seed dispersal season (Green et al. 2002).”
Species Richness and Distribution of Copepods and Cladocerans and their Relation to Hydroperiod and Other Environmental Variables in Doñana, South-west Spain (2006, background): “In addition, smaller wetlands are less likely to be visited by waterfowl (Green et al., 2002), which play a major role in the dispersal of aquatic organisms in Doñana (Figuerola et al., 2003).”
The American brine shrimp as an exotic invasive species in the western Mediterranean (2005, unknown): “These cysts are thought to be broadly dispersed by wind transportation among short distances, or by birds for longer distances (Figuerola and Green 2002; Green et al. 2002).”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Shorebirds (Charadriidae, Scolopacidae) also disperse seeds and invertebrates, but the extent and ecological importance of these interactions is almost completely unknown (Green et al. 2002).”
The Monopolization Hypothesis and the dispersal–gene flow paradox in aquatic organisms (2002, background): “Waterfowl carry resting propagules of cladocerans and rotifers both in their digestive tract and in their feathers, a substantial proportion of which are viable (Proctor and Malone, 1965; Mellors, 1975; Charalambidou and Santamaría, 2002; Green et al., 2002).”
Comparative dispersal effectiveness of wigeongrass seeds by waterfowl wintering in south‐west Spain: quantitative and qualitative aspects (2002, background): “…has long been recognized (Darwin 1859; Ridley 1930), but little is known about its frequency in the field (see reviews by Figuerola & Green 2002; Green et al. 2002), especially in comparison with the relatively well-documented dis- persal patterns of many terrestrial plants by frugivorous birds…”
BACKCASTING AND FORECASTING BIOLOGICAL INVASIONS OF INLAND LAKES (2004, background): “Because zooplankton including Bythotrephes also may be spread by natural mechanisms, notably by diving waterfowl (see review, Green et al. 2002), we conducted an indirect test of this alternative dispersal model.”
