In the experiment, in which seeds were presented toearthworms to test the impact of seed ingestion only ongermination, the difference of germination rate betweenexcreted and non-ingested seeds could only be tested statisticallyfor seeds of T. repens and F. lemanii in presence of L. terrestris.Indeed, L. terrestris ingested all the seeds of O. vulgare and of U.dioica that were presented, and A. chlorotica excreted none of theseeds that it ingested (Fig. 1). The germination of all seeds wasinfluenced by the seed species only (GLM, x2 = 413.3, df = 3,p < 0.001, n = 94). The germination of F. lemanii seeds that wereexcreted by earthworms was lower compared to non-ingestedseeds (Tukey HSD, z = 2.17, p < 0.03; Fig. 1).
