The potential role of the yellow-legged gull, <i>Larus michahellis</i> as a seed disperser of an invasive plant species in the Tuscan Archipelago

Gulls have a significant role as seed dispersers in coastal habitats and as drivers of plant movements within and between islands. We report the observed interaction between the yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) and species of cacti of the genus Opuntia in Capraia Island, in the Tuscan Archipelago.

Abstract

Gulls have a significant role as seed dispersers in coastal habitats and as drivers of plant movements within and between islands. We report the observed interaction between the yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) and species of cacti of the genus Opuntia in Capraia Island, in the Tuscan Archipelago.
