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

We found that a critical ecological function, ant-mediated seed dispersal, was lower and more variable in forests with a history of agricultural clearing. We found damage by antagonists (invasive slugs) was disrupting dispersal and higher in these forests. ✨🌱🌰🐜✨(2/4)

'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

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…

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…

Congrats to John Draper 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).
