More than 3,000 plant species use the help of ants to be planted, and within single ecosystems half the herbaceous plant species may take advantage of this strategy. But are we aware of the full complexity of the myrmecochorous syndrome? Has the impact of the ant community’s species composition on the plant species composition via myrmecochory been adequately recognized? Or the… JA - Myrmecological News M3 - Book Review VL - 6
