| Summary: | (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Waterbirds such as the Northern Shoveler Spatula clypeatain the photo (Simay Gábor) disperse seeds in their gut, in a similar manner to frugivorous birds. In Sebastián-González et al.'s study, "Waterbird seed-dispersal networks are similarly nested but less modular than those of frugivorous birds, and not driven by functional traits" (Funct. Ecol. 2020; 34, 2283-2291. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13657), the authors found that different waterbird species disperse similar seeds, but, due to their unique movement patterns, are still likely to vary in how they spread plants to new places. ... |
