Better out than in: faecal matrix inhibits establishment success after waterfowl endozoochory

[Background and Aims] Many plant species undergo long-distance dispersal through migratory waterbirds. However, there is little information about the effectiveness of this dispersal, especially regarding the chances of plant establishment and the impact of gut passage or the faecal matrix on plant g...

Sumario:[Background and Aims] Many plant species undergo long-distance dispersal through migratory waterbirds. However, there is little information about the effectiveness of this dispersal, especially regarding the chances of plant establishment and the impact of gut passage or the faecal matrix on plant germination, growth and reproductive investment in seeds.
