摘要：我们提供的观察结果证实，苔藓植物的有活力的碎片在通过消化道存活后被候鸟传播。在英国坎布里亚郡的温德米尔湖，从野鸭鸭（Mallard Anas platyrhynchos）的粪便中提取的大块碎片中培养出了一种岛双齿兽（Didymodon insulanus）标本。在英格兰其他地方的野鸭和田凫的粪便中也记录了类似的碎片。内生孢子可能是苔藓植物碎片和孢子传播的重要机制。
Abstract We provide observations confirming that viable fragments of bryophytes are dispersed by migratory birds after surviving transit through the alimentary canal. A specimen of Didymodon insulanus was cultured from a large fragment extracted from faeces of Mallard Anas platyrhynchos at Lake Windermere in Cumbria, England. Similar fragments were recorded elsewhere in England in faeces of Mallard and Lapwing Vanellus vanellus. Endozoochory is likely to be an important dispersal mechanism for bryophyte fragments as well as spores.
