Turdidae species spread the seeds of plants, contributing to the dispersal of many species and the recovery of ecosystems.Plants have limited seed dispersal mobility away from the parent plant and consequently rely upon a variety of dispersal s to transport their propagules, including both abiotic and biotic s. Seeds can be dispersed away from the parent plant individually or collectively, as well as dispersed in both space and time.Many bats and birds rely heavily on fruits for their diet, including birds in the families Cotingidae, Columbidae, Trogonidae, Turdidae, and Ramphastidae. While eating fruit, these animals swallow seeds and then later regurgitate them or pass them in their faeces. Such ornithochory has been a major mechanism of seed dispersal across ocean barriers.
