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! https://t.co/D0q3osrDcS

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

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 🤎🙌

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.

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 https://t.co/Dqi2tSJpyC
'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🌴 https://t.co/rwlfLHtcry
