Are subordinate ants the best seed dispersers? Linking dominance hierarchies and seed dispersal ability in myrmecochory interactions
(Springer, 2012-06)
True myrmecochory involves the dispersal of elaiosome-bearing seeds by ants. Between the guild of ants that are attracted to these seeds, only a few of them will act as effective dispersers, that is, transporting the seeds ...
Seed manipulation by ants: disentangling the effects of ant behaviours on seed germination

Pogonomyrmexcunicularius as the keystone disperser of elaiosome-bearing Jatropha excisa seeds in semi-arid Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-05)
Myrmecochory or seed dispersal by ants is often described as a diffuse mutualism, because many of the ant species that function as partners are considered to be similar in terms of the frequency and consequences of their ...
Distribution, composition, and dispersal of ant gardens and tending ants in three kinds of central Amazonian habitats

Ant-mediated seed dispersal in a warmed world
(PeerJ, 2014-03)
Climate change affects communities both directly and indirectly via changes in interspecific interactions. One such interaction that may be altered under climate change is the ant-plant seed dispersal mutualism common in ...
