Migratory birds are often suggested to be important vectors for long-distance dispersal (LDD) of plant and animal propagules. The scale of such dispersal events (hundreds to thousands of kilometers) can influence landscape-level biological processes and species distributions. However, the few vector species studied and the lack of proper integration of their migratory movement in models of LDD ...

OBJECTIVE: A rare case of LDD confirmed by biopsy is being reported. Review of the published cases shows that the disease usually manifests by the signs of increased intracranial pressure with inconstant cerebellar symptoms.
