Abstract Postfloral peduncle laying is regarded as an element of myrmecochorous syndrome, which is presumed to facilitate seed discovery by ants by presenting seeds on the ground. However, this presumption does not explain why the peduncles should lay down rather than dropping diaspores on the ground.

Myrmecochory commonly complements the advantages of ballistic dispersal in diplochorous species. We studied the role of the elaiosome in two populations of the two diplochorous Mediterranean spurges Euphorbia boetica and E. nicaeensis, which share an efficient ballistic dispersal mechanism followed by secondary removal by ants. They differ in elaiosome

Choosing benefits or partners: a review of the evidence for the evolution of myrmecochory
Oikos, 2006Myrmecochory, or seed dispersal by ants, is a dispersal syndrome found among several thousand plant species occupying different ecosystems and geographical regions. Typically, ants benefit from consuming a lipid‐rich appendage on the seed and in return provide seed dispersal service to the plant.

Petals may act as a reward: myrmecochory in shrubby Darwinia species of south‐eastern Australia
Austral Ecology, 2009AbstractThe removal rates of fruits (the diaspore) were assessed in exclusion experiments in three shrubby species of Darwinia, endemic to the Sydney Basin of south‐eastern Australia. There was a clear pattern of fruit removal in just a few days by small species of ants from the genera Iridomyrmex, Crematogaster and Pheidole.

Seed dispersal by ants in Polygala vulgaris, Luzula campestris and Viola curtisii was studied in a primary dune valley on the island of Terschelling, The Netherlands. Normally developed seeds of all three species are taken by the ants into their nests.
