Interesting paper providing experimental evidence for #dispersal of harmful cyanobacteria by migratory waterbirds #epizoochory @pebl-rice.bsky.social @freshwaterscience.bsky.social @globalflyway.bsky.social @aillimnologia.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New experimental study of #epizoochory potential of Adenostemma (Asteraceae) by birds. Authors call it "epiornithochory" which is new to me and seems unnecessary. Why do people like to use such complex terminology? #seeddispersal

Nice #dispersal paper, but importance of #epizoochory vs #endozoochory is overstated. The snail was dead, and since Proctor it has been repeatedly shown that gut retention times are enough to cover such long distances (and that seeds are in migrant guts)

How do alien water boatmen #Trichocorixa spread around the Mediterranean region? Do waterbirds give them a lift? #epizoochory #endozoochory #EBDpub #alienspecies @ebdonana @BES_Invasive @freshwaterbio @Invasoraspt @CABI_Invasives @freshwaterblog @UoM_EES

This paper suggests waterbirds may pollinate a river #Polygonaceae Maybe #epizoochory of pollen by birds can be important for some plants e.g. #Ruppia What do others think? @NWillby @LukacsBA @AdamLovasKiss @freshwaterblog @freshwaterbio
