چکیده انگلیسی
Sheep transfers resulted in the dispersal of 56 seed species, dominated by Red List (seven species) and other target species. Quantitatively, most transported seeds belonged to target species, whereas graminoid competitors were highly under-represented. Morphological traits enhance the attachment probability regardless of seed mass. But for seeds without these epizoochory-facilitating traits, mass seems to affect attachment negatively. Plant height affected the number of species present in sheep coats but not the seed quantities. Probably certain species in the vegetation produced large numbers of seeds, e.g. low-growing Medicago minima with seed surface structures and high-growing species Verbascum phlomoides without seed surface structures. Also, although transfer half-times were three times lower than grazing half-times, naturally attached Stipa capillata and Agrimonia procera seeds showed no significant detachment rates during transfer, whereas considerable losses were found during grazing. Other 3-km sheep transfers did not result in significant losses of either epizoochorously transported seed or species quantities. Our study shows that community-based grazing can lead to the dispersal of especially target species. Besides that, different habitat fragments can be connected to each other via sheep without significant seed losses along the way.
