¿Alguien se imagina que existan "controles de polinizadores" porque molestan a una minoría? O ¿"controles de controladores de plagas"? Las funciones ecológicas descomunales que desempeñan los dispersores de semillas siguen siendo ampliamente desconocidas por la mayoría. @secem-sicem.bsky.social

Que difundan nuestro estudio en la web "Club de Caza" es como un oxímoron. En efecto, la caza aniquila por diversión a aves que realizan migraciones increíbles, a la par que sostienen la biodiversidad y la resiliencia de los ecosistemas. Mejor caza con 📸 www.club-caza.com/article/art/...

Los zorzales, grandes aliados de la reforestación al dispersar semillas a más de 500 kilómetros
Algunas aves migratorias que se alimentan de frutos carnosos pueden dispersar semillas a más de 500 kilómetros. Es lo que ha probado una investigación científica que ha estudiado al zorzal común.
