Description: Seed Dispersal by Ants in a Deciduous Forest Ecosystem : Mechanisms, Strategies, Adaptations, Hardcover by Gorb, Elena; Gorb, Stanislav, ISBN 1402013795, ISBN-13 9781402013799, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Over 3,000 species of flowering plants depend on myrmecochory, or the dispersal of their diaspores seeds and fruits by ants. Elena (National Taras Shevchenko U.) and Stanislav (Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, both Kyiv, Ukraine) spent five field seasons in one selected ecosystem in the middle Dnipro area in order to clarify the mechanism of ant dispersal in temperate deciduous forests. They bolster the hypothesis that a complex of ant species influences a complex of plant species through seed and fruit, and show that plants exhibit a number of adaptations to such dispersal. They also detail the stages of removal, transport, and secondary relation. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
