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.14674

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/podcas…

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…

'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/…

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.14674
