Killifish eggs can disperse via gut passage through waterfowl
Original language description
How freshwater fish arrived in remote lakes and pools has been much debated. It has often been suggested that fish eggs are dispersed when they are attached to the feet, feathers, or bills of waterbirds (a form of ectozoochory). However, a recent thorough review failed to provide solid empirical evidence for such dispersal (Hirsch et al. 2018). We discovered an alternative mode to waterbird-facilitated dispersal of fish eggs—inside the alimentary system of coscoroba swan (form of endozoochory)—and experimentally demonstrated that killifish eggs from bird feces were capable of continuing their development after spending over 30 h inside a swan.
