UPR @utahpublicradio was back @stri_panama with @elsaminijos, @noellebeckman, and @WhiteheadLabVT reporting on @UStateScience plant research and #BC100 from Panama upr.org/utah-news/2024…

Seedscapists presenting their research at #BCI100 @stri_panama on the many facets of #seeddispersal

Out now in Biological Conservation! Impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on #seed #dispersal by an Afrotropical bird community in an anthropogenic landscape: Insights from movement models by Binod Borah and @noellebeckman . Free access until June 20: authors.elsevier.com/c/1j0Ty1R~eWaFT

Congrats to @Ecologist_John for getting this last chapter of his dissertation published on #Coyotes as seed dispersers (all the way to changing species distribution & carbon storage on the landscape). This paper was fun to work on with great co-authors! nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec…

Excited to shar our just published work about #seeddispersal combined with #GPStagged geese movement data in Sweden 🦆🌱 See the link below to know the whole story :) @ebdonana @CoDisperse @BESInvasionSci @drAndyGreen doi.org/10.1016/j.agee…

New Paper: Greylag #geese connect agricultural and natural habitats via direct summer flights, dispersing 41 plant species (9 weeds). Impact of weed dispersal between crop types needs research @SeedSciSoc @CoDisperse @ebdonana @BSBIbotany @UoM_EES @_BTO sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

By 2050, climate change is expected to cause major seed dispersal disruption due to 60% decline in breeding range of pink-footed geese @CoDisperse @ecfricke @haldre1 @AnnaTraveset @WWTconservation @WWTMartinMere @BESClimate @_AEET_ @WetlandsInt @UoM_EES doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…

Finally, after years searching, I’ve found my own sea bean on St. Mary’s! 😃 A ‘sea heart’ - the seed of the monkey-ladder (Entada gigas), a tropical woody vine of Central American rainforests. Extreme seed dispersal at play! 🌊 A treasured find 🤎🙌 #PWC2023 #AlternativeFind

Ep 419 is here & its about ant seed dispersal AKA myrmecochory 🐜🐜🐜 We revisit a conversation with Dr. Robert Warren in about ant seed dispersal and learn how some invasive ants might impact wildflower diversity. indefenseofplants.com/podcast/2023/4…

Many years ago I published this experimental study of seed dispersal, which has been well-cited While planning it, so many people told me the study would not work & I was being too ambitious I’ve kept that ‘victory’ to inspire me over the years link.springer.com/article/10.100…

'Natural colonisation' & 'passive rewilding' are increasingly popular in the UK, but depend on seed dispersal And we tend to think very little about how abundance of seed dispersers can limit their success Nature recovery must involve recovery of ecosystem processes

Very proud of my MSc student @FriederikeWolke for leading this work @NewPhyt: Africa is unique when it comes to fruit size evolution - fruits evolve to be larger than elsewhere, possibly due to dispersal by megafauna 🐘 and Miocene savanna expansion🌴 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Just accepted in @JBiogeography "Migratory geese allow plants to disperse to cooler latitudes across the ocean" Pink-footed geese dispersing 35 plant species by #endozoochory on migration between UK and Iceland @ebdonana @CoDisperse @WWTworldwide @RSPBScience @_BTO @WetlandsInt

Study conducted partly on @WWTMartinMere and @RSPBScience reserves and at @LJMU and @UoM_EES shows how Pink-footed geese disperse seeds between UK and Iceland, helping plants to compensate for climate change @BTO @Natures_Voice @CoDisperse @MMUEcolEnv doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…
