Gulls have a significant role as seed dispersers in coastal habitats and as drivers of plant movements within and between islands. We report the observed interaction between the Yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) and species of cacti of the genus Opuntia in Capraia Island, in the Tuscan Archipelago.
