Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.Model systems have been developed for certain mutualistic interactions, such as pollination, root nodules, and mycorrhizal symbiosis, advancing our understanding of these forms of mutualism. However, in the area of seed dispersal mutualism, a model system has been lacking. Here, we provide evidence of ant‐seed dispersal mutualism in Setaria viridis and

Ecological benefits of myrmecochory for the endangered chaparral shrub Fremontodendron decumbens (Sterculiaceae) [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2001 Fremontodendron decumbens grows in a single county in central California, USA. Prior research showed that its elaiosome‐bearing seeds are dispersed by the harvester ant Messor andrei. I tested several hypotheses regarding the positive role of ant‐mediated dispersal to F. decumbens: (1) Does ant‐mediated seed dispersal facilitate seed escape from rodent
