Journal ArticleDOI
Multiphase myrmecochory: the roles of different ant species and effects of fire.
TL;DR: It is shown that myrmecochory can involve more than one dispersal phase and that fire indirectly influences myrmicochory by altering the abundances of seed-dispersing ants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining distances of ballistic and myrmecochorous seed dispersal in Adriana quadripartita (Euphorbiaceae)
TL;DR: An important function of diplochory may simply be to move a higher proportion of seeds from under the canopy of parent plants than is possible by ballistic dispersal alone, which may result in reduced parent–offspring competition or may increase the probability that seeds reach rare safe sites for germination and recruitment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between ants and seeds of two myrmecochorous plant species in recently burnt and long‐unburnt forest sites
TL;DR: Differences in the proportions of seeds removed, elaiosomes robbed and seeds ignored appeared to be largely driven by an increase in abundance of A. nr. nitidiceps and a decrease in abundances of M. sydneyense in burnt vegetation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of prescribed burning on epigaeic ant communities in eucalypt forest of South Australia
TL;DR: This paper investigated the response and recovery of epigaeic ant communities in the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia following prescribed burning by conducting pitfall trapping over three consecutive years (December 2006-2008) in recently burnt (prescribed burnt in spring seasons of 2004-2006) and unburnt vegetation (last burnt by wildfire in 1983).
