From the Greek endo, within, zoon, animal, and chore, region (dispersion). A scientific term that describes a type of zoochory: dispersal of plant seeds through animals that eat them and then poop them. The pigeons, magpies and Argentine parrots of the neighborhood eat the olives and berries of the yew trees and thus weaken the hard envelope of the seeds that then take root if conditions are favorable.
