Convergent evolution of seed dispersal by ants, and phylogeny and biogeography in flowering plants: A global survey

Seed dispersal is a fundamental life history trait in plants. Although the recent surge of interest in seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) has added greatly to knowledge on the ecology of seed dispersal and ant–plant mutualisms, myrmecochory also represents a unique opportunity to examine the link...
