- And it turns out those black specks in that photo are bryozoan statoblasts (Plumatella). So what is that telling us about bryozoan dispersal?

- An excellent PhD thesis. Birds don't understand borders, and the community of storks, ibis, gulls etc in the ricefields of the Tagus/Tajo delta is similar to that of the ricefields in Doñana, with similar conservation issues and agricultural conflicts

- In the Pampas wetlands of southern Brazil there are cattle that have no connection with deforestation. There, they provide an important ecosystem service by dispersing flowering plants and ferns by #endozoochory @ebdonana.bsky.social @manmetuni.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- New paper explores traits of >500 plants whose seeds are eaten, and dispersed, by 38 waterfowl species in North America. A great variety of plants are included, but with strong differences between difficult "guilds" such as dabbling and diving ducks, or geese doi.org/10.1111/fwb....
- But different species within a guild show interesting differences in their "dispersal niche", as exemplified when looking at the "dispersal syndromes" of the different plants they disperse. Species from different guilds can share a similar niche represented by network modules @ebdonana.bsky.social
