尽管人类是短距离和长距离种子传播的主要机制，但将服装作为媒介进行测试的研究有限。在澳大利亚科修斯科国家公园评估了不同类型的材料（运动袜与登山袜）或不同的衣服（靴子、袜子、鞋带与腿）或在不同地方穿着的同一物品（袜子）对种子成分的影响。使用重复测量方差分析、独立和配对 t 检验、多维尺度排序和相似性分析来分析数据。从 207 件衣物样本中收集了来自 70 个分类单元的总共 24,776 颗种子，其中种子来自 31 个本地物种和 19 个非本地物种。在赛道外穿的袜子收集了更多的本地种子，而在路边穿的袜子则收集了更多的非本地种子。运动袜比远足袜收集了更多种类的种子和更多的本地种子。靴子、未覆盖的袜子和鞋带比覆盖的袜子和鞋带收集更多的种子，因此穿裤子时收集的种子减少了 17%。在这项研究和其他九项研究中，从衣服上收集了超过 179 个物种（134 种公认的杂草）的种子，很明显，衣服会导致无意的人类介导的种子传播，包括许多入侵物种。 (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Although humans are a major mechanism for short and long distance seed dispersal, there is limited research testing clothing as a vector. The effect of different types of material (sports vs hiking socks), or different items of clothing (boots, socks, laces vs legs) or the same item (socks) worn in different places on seed composition were assessed in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia. Data was analyzed using Repeated Measures ANOVA, independent and paired t-tests, Multi-dimensional Scaling Ordinations and Analysis of Similarity. A total of 24,776 seeds from 70 taxa were collected from the 207 pieces of clothing sampled, with seed identified from 31 native and 19 non-native species. Socks worn off-track collected more native seeds while those worn on roadsides collected more non-native seeds. Sports socks collected a greater diversity of seeds and more native seeds than hiking socks. Boots, uncovered socks and laces collect more seeds than covered socks and laces, resulting in 17% fewer seeds collected when wearing trousers. With seeds from over 179 species (134 recognized weeds) collected on clothing in this, and nine other studies, it is clear that clothing contributes to unintended human mediated seed dispersal, including for many invasive species.
