Cover Story: Almeida et al. utilized a new dataset on the presence of seeds in the alimentary canal or feces to identify plant species whose seeds are ingested and dispersed by North American ducks or geese. They compared the plant traits of those species with those of species on the U.S. National Wetland Plants List (NWPL), as an indication of plant species available in the environment. In their analyses, they identified significant differences between the trait distributions of plants whose seeds were ingested by waterfowl and those on the NWPL. These differences varied among waterfowl guilds. These results aid in explaining the role of the long-distance dispersal of seeds by migratory waterfowl in plant biogeography and may aid in predicting how plant distributions will respond to global change. View this paper
