Animal-mediated dispersal

Animal-mediated dispersal is a natural process where animals help move seeds or plant parts from one place to another. Animals such as birds, mammals, or insects carry seeds after eating fruits or collecting them on their fur or feathers. This movement helps plants spread to new areas, allowing them to grow in different environments, reduce competition, and increase their chances of survival. It is a vital part of many ecosystems, supporting plant diversity and promoting healthy, resilient landscapes.
