Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl (2012, background): “In conclusion, smaller propagules will have both highest survival and farthest dispersal by long retention, and will likely be produced and ingested in higher numbers in natural situations (Bruun & Poschlod, 2006; Brochet et al., 2010).”
The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic alien and invasive species (2015, background): “Waterbirds disperse a wide variety of native aquatic organisms that either pass intact through the gut (endozoochory) or attach to feet and feathers (ectozoochory; Brochet et al., 2010a,b; Raulings et al., 2011; van Leeuwen et al., 2012a).”
Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: A review and perspective (2016, background): “…vegetative parts by herbivores (´foliage in the fruit´, sensu Janzen (1984)), the occasional survival of seeds ingested by granivores (e.g. teals (Brochet et al., 2010b)) or the accidental ingestion of seeds by carnivores/omnivores (notably filter-feeders, such as flamingoes and shovelers…”
Direct long‐distance dispersal shapes a New World amphitropical disjunction in the dispersal‐limited dung moss Tetraplodon (Bryopsida: Splachnaceae) (2014, background): “Although bird-mediated endozoochory is a more effective means of dispersal than ectozoochory in terms both of number and of diversity for seeds (Brochet et al., 2010; Costa et al., 2014) and aquatic invertebrates (S anchez et al.”
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): “However, given the water-repellent, smooth plumage of dabbling ducks and their frequent preening behaviour, seeds or fragments are not frequently attached to ducks (Brochet et al. 2010a).”
Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “Non-frugivorous birds disperse a greater abundance and diversity of NFF plants via endozoochory than via epizo-ochory, with many plant species dispersed by both modes (Brochet et al. 2010, Costa et al. 2014, Reynolds and Cumming 2016).”
