Anostracans from North American lakes show unclear phylogenetic relationships between taxa and distinctive dispersal patterns
Dispersal is essential for all organisms to colonize new areas. Like many other aquatic invertebrates, Anostraca (Crustacea) disperse passively as dormant fertilized eggs. Here, we first study the ...

But different species within a guild show interesting differences in their "dispersal niche", as exemplified when looking at the "dispersal syndromes" of the different plants they disperse. Species from different guilds can share a similar niche represented by network modules @ebdonana.bsky.social
Bipartite network plot representing the proportion of interactions of each waterfowl species with plant species assigned different morphological dispersal syndromes, indicated on the left-hand side. Waterfowl species are organised into four modules (clusters of bird species dispersing similar plants), represented by alternating shades of grey. The classification of species into foraging groups is shown in the coloured vertical column to the right of bird species names. Further to the right, horizontal bars show the number of plant species of each dispersal syndrome whose seeds were recorded in each waterfowl species.
