“Redirecting” the Study of Mutualistic Benefits To Plants In Myrmecochory [PDF]
, 2014 Myrmecochory is typically cast as a mutualistic relationship in which seed dispersal of plants with elaiosome-bearing seeds is performed by ants. Benefits of this mutualism may seem simple at first: ants gain a nutritive reward via elaiosomes, while ...
