3.3 Myrmecochory Dispersal of seeds by ants is called myrmecochory. This is a
form of mutualism in which the plant benefits by dispersal and the ant is rewarded
with food. It has been recorded in over 80 plant families, and it plays a major ...

Dispersal Biology of Desert Plants
2.5.3 Examples of Myrmecochory Myrmecochory is probably the most frequently

The Insects: An Outline of Entomology
Myrmecochory may reduce intraspecific and/or interspecific competition amongst
plants by removing seeds to new sites. Seed removal to underground ant nests
provides protection from fire or seed predators, such as some birds, small ...

Issues in Ecological Research and Application: 2011 Edition
“In the process of seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory), foragers bring
diaspores back to their nest, then eat the elaiosome and usually reject viable
seeds outside the nest. Here, we investigate what happens inside the nest, a
barely known ...

All Flesh Is Grass: Plant-Animal Interrelationships
Myrmecochory Myrmecochory is the dispersal of seeds by ants. Foraging ants
disperse seeds that have appendages called elaiosomes (Terborgh, 1986) (e.g.,
bloodroot, trilliums, acacias, and many species of Proteaceae). Although ...

Convergent Evolution: Limited Forms Most Beautiful
Even more specialized than the evolution of fruit and subsequent seed dispersal
by vertebrate animals is the evolution of seed dispersal by ants, or myrmecochory
(Dunn et al. 2007). Myrmecochorous plants have evolved elaiosome, ...

Associations Between Insects and Plants
The benefits to the plant through sacrificing this mineral content are sometimes
difficult to assess, but myrmecochory appears to show the following as likely
benefits. Firstly, distance of seed dispersal is increased, so that progeny and
parent ...
