Animals such as birds, bats, and rodents are known to transfer seeds through their droppings. These animals consume seeds as part of their diet and help in dispersing seeds to new locations, aiding in the growth and diversity of plant species in an ecosystem.

How do seeds transfer?
Seeds can be transferred through various methods, including wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal mechanisms. Wind dispersal involves seeds being carried by the wind, water dispersal occurs when seeds float in water to new locations, animal dispersal happens when seeds are ingested by animals and deposited elsewhere, and self-dispersal mechanisms include seed pods that burst open to release seeds or seeds that are propelled away by the plant itself.
What is the process called when a bee transfers seeds from one plant to the other?
Bees do not transfer seeds, they transfer pollen, and that process is called pollination.
Why seeds of plant dispersed by animal is further than plant dispersed by explosive mechanism?
When seeds are dispersed by an animal they are usually either consumed by the animal then expelled in the animal's waste or caught in the animal's fur and later released as the animal shed. In both scenarios the animal acts as a transport for the seeds and can carry seeds much further than the small launch in a plant's explosive mechanism
How are the seeds of burdock dispersed?
when a hairy animal is moving... burdock is very sticky type and it sticks on
Do apple seeds travel by wind water or animal?
Apple seeds can be spread by animals that eat the fruit and pass the seeds through their digestive system, allowing them to be deposited in a new location. They are not typically spread by wind or water.

What seeds does the animal carry?
any seeds that it picks up
Which seeds stick to animal body?
pri kle seeds
How are watermelon seeds dispersed?
As with all fruit seeds, watermelon uses animals to disperse seeds. When an animal eats a watermelon, the seeds generally pass through the digestive system unharmed. When the animal defecates, the seeds then come out (and embedded in the natural fertilizer).

Which animal skat has juniper seeds?

How are trees form?
By Humans planting seeds (or if a animal knows how).
How does a cotton disperse its seeds?
By animal
How are Atap seeds dispersed?
Atap seeds are dispersed primarily by animals that eat the fleshy, sweet fruit surrounding the seed and then excrete the seed in a new location. This process helps the seed to spread and germinate in new areas. Additionally, water can also disperse Atap seeds when fruits fall into water bodies and are carried away by currents.
How are redcurrant seeds dispersed?
Redcurrant seeds are primarily dispersed by birds that eat the fruit and then spread the seeds through their droppings. Other potential dispersal methods include water, wind, or animals carrying the fruit away from the parent plant.
How is it beneficial to the tree when an animal eats the tree's fruit?
The animal swallows the seeds along with the fruit. When the animal defecates, the seeds will be redeposited back into the ground, so that they can germinate.
