ADAPTIVE ADVANTAGE OF MYRMECOCHORY IN THE ANT-DISPERSED HERB LAMIUM AMPLEXICAULE (LAMIACEAE): PREDATION AVOIDANCE THROUGH THE DETERRENCE OF POST-DISPERSAL SEED PREDATORS.

Adaptive Advantage of Myrmecochory in the Ant-Dispersed Herb Lamium amplexicaule (Lamiaceae): Predation Avoidance through the Deterrence of Post-Dispersal Seed Predators.

Seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) is found worldwide, but the benefits that plants obtain from this mutualism remain uncertain.In the present study, we conducted laboratory experiments to demonstrate seed predator avoidance as a benefit of myrmecochory using the annual ant-dispersed herb Lamium amplexicaule, the disperser ant Tetramorium tsushi
