Does Atta laevigata (Smith, 1858) act as Solanum lycocarpum seed dispersers?
Sociobiology, 2016 Ants can act as seed dispersers, modifying their distribution, affecting the reproductive success and the vegetation spatial structure. The leaf-cutting ants function, as dispersers of non-myrmecochorous plants, is little known.

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022 The tectonic units of Sakarya Zone (Pontides) and Tavşanlı Zone (Anatolides) are exposed in the Mihalıççık area of central Anatolia. A Cretaceous accretionary complex that forms the İzmir-Ankara-Erzincan suture zone separates the units.

Dispersal of non-myrmecochorous plants by a >keystone disperser> ant in a Mediterranean habitat reveals asymmetric interdependence [PDF]
, 2012 In contrast to other plant-animal mutualisms, seed dispersal interactions, and particularly seed dispersal by ants, are generally considered asymmetric, non-specialized relationships in which dispersers depend less on plants than vice versa.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Oikos, EarlyView.Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

A new Kalidium species (Amaranthaceae s. l.) from northern Central Asia
Turczaninowia, 2022 Kalidium juniperinum Sukhor. et Lomon. is described as a species new to science. It is similar to K. foliatum in having a short leaf blade but differs by the presence of numerous slender, prostrate, or ascending stems forming mats vs.

Impacts of land use change on diaspore‐dispersing ant assemblages in southwestern Amazonia
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Land use changes shift ant assemblages, more intensive land uses are dominated by generalist and open habitat specialist species engaging in group foraging. The diaspore removal rates cannot differ, but the quality of dispersal was lower in disturbed habitats.
