    • 1994, Henri J. Dumont, “The distribution and ecology of the fresh- and brackish-water medusae of the world”, in Hydrobiologia, volume 212, page 7:
      Downstream transportation [] is common to all aquatic animals which cannot maintain their position by swimming alone. The solution to this problem in freshwater is to produce a drought resistant life-stage adapted to passive (upstream) dispersal by anemochoria or zoochoria.
    • 2019, Maureen de Moraes Stefanello et al., “How Bovine Livestock Affects Seed Rain in Subtropical Climate Forest”, in Journal of Agricultural Science, volume 11, number 10, page 246:
