- W2045409421 abstract "Long‐distance dispersal of seeds is an important process in metapopulation dynamics and in plant migrations, but at the same time extremely difficult to observe or quantify directly. If seed dispersal ability were related to attributes of seeds or motherplants, long‐distance seed dispersal would be predictable by indirect approximation using easy‐to‐measure traits. Seed size has been suggested to be such a key trait in seed dispersal ability. However, having smaller seeds also implies having more numerous seeds per plant individual (given equal reproductive effort), and consequently increases the probability of seeds being ingested accidentally. The question is whether small‐seeded species are more abundant in herbivore dung because smaller seed size increases survival rate during gut passage or because they are produced (and ingested) in greater numbers than larger seeds. We investigated endozoochorous seed dispersal via cattle grazing a meadow, and related seed abundance in dung samples to seed attributes. We found that seeds were ingested and passed through the bovine intestinal tract in proportion to the numbers produced per unit area in the grazed vegetation. In contrast, no relationship could be found between endozoochorous dispersal potential (measured as abundance of seeds in dung samples corrected for seed output in the grazed vegetation) and seed attributes such as seed mass, seed shape (roundness), and thickness of the seed coat. This finding underlines the importance of seed number in plant dispersal ability. In addition, it shows that grazing mammals may constitute an important dispersal vector for many plant species conventionally classified as ‘unspecialised’." @default.
