Meanings
plural anthropochores
- biologyA species that depends on anthropochory as a routine means of reproductive dispersal.
- biologyA population of a species in a region where it does not natively occur, established by anthropochorous events in the past.
Although most anthropochores undoubtedly have been transported by man from the Old World to the New, there is evidence that at least some now known from Europe first became known from the United States and were carried east.
