Gut passage had little effect on germination and plant establishment, while the faecal matrix mainly had a negative effect. This suggests that dispersal effectiveness can be high after endozoochory, but especially when faeces disintegrate, as when egested into water or disaggregated on land.

Here we investigated the effects of passage through the mallard gut and subsequent sowing within mallard faeces on germination, plant growth, plant biomass and plant reproduction using two wetland plants commonly dispersed by waterbirds in Europe: Eleocharis palustris and Juncus bufonius agg.

Habitat Changes at the Local Scale Have Major Impacts on Waterfowl Populations Across a Migratory Flyway Migratory waterbirds are declining worldwide due to habitat loss, but not much is known about how the loss of specific wetlands can affect waterbird populations at the biogeographical scale. To inves...

No. What happens in Doñana DOES NOT STAY in Doñana.

After more than two years of work, we’ve published an article demonstrating that the poor condition of Doñana negatively affects waterbirds across the ENTIRE continent!

Dirty habits: potential for spread of antibiotic-resistance by black-headed gulls from waste-water treatment plants - Environmental Science and Pollution Research Anthropogenic environments such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and landfills are sources of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Black-headed gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) frequently use WWTPs...

Paper alert 🚨📣🧫

Here we study the potential role of #gulls using wastewater as dispersers of #AMR in the environment! #seabirds #OneHealth 👇
