      "Seed dispersal by a generalist duck - Ingestion, digestion and transportation by mallards (Anas platyrhynchos)". Waterfowl (especially mallard ducks) contribute to the wide distribution of many aquatic plants and the rapid colonization of newly available habitats. The main questions addressed in this project were: which plant species benefit from dispersal by waterfowl? Why are some plants better able to survive passage through the digestive tract of waterfowl than others? Whereto and over which distances do waterfowl disperse seeds? I used lab-based as well as field-based experimental approaches to address these questions from the perspective of both seeds and ducks. Show less
