Removal of seed of Grevillea pteridifolia by ants

Seed-taking by ants has rarely been recorded in Australian Proteaceae. Recent work in northern Australia showed that seed of Grevillea pteridifolia is taken by ants as readily as those of certain elaiosome-bearing Acacia spp. The hard, flat seed is completely surrounded by a brittle, papery wing whi...
