zoochores

DEFINITION

plural form of zoochore referring to plants whose seeds are dispersed by animals

EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Many tropical fruit trees are zoochores that depend on monkeys birds and bats to carry their seeds to new germination sites. The ecologist identified dozens of zoochores in the forest ecosystem and mapped how animal movement patterns influenced plant distribution across the landscape. Zoochores often produce brightly colored fruits with sweet pulp specifically to attract animal dispersers that consume and later excrete the seeds. The decline of large frugivorous animals has severely impacted many zoochores whose seeds require passage through animal digestive systems for germination. Researchers compared the dispersal distances of zoochores versus wind dispersed plants to understand differences in their colonization abilities across fragmented habitats.
