  科学美国人60秒英文文本

  You could be in the Arctic and spot some moss.

  We've long known that birds spread seeds.

  But new research says migrating birds also spread microscopic spores.

  The birds harbor tiny parts of plants and lichens in their feathers, setting up similar colonies thousands of miles apart.

  That's according to a study in the journal PeerJ.

  All of which can grow into new whole organisms.

  The researchers think that long-distance fliers such as the American golden-plover and the white-rumped sandpiper picked up the spores while lining their nests.
