| 书目名称 | Seed Dispersal by Ants in a Deciduous Forest Ecosystem | | 副标题 | Mechanisms, Strategi | | 编辑 | Elena Gorb,Stanislav Gorb | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | Countless ants transport and deposit seeds and therebyinfluence the survival, death, and evolution of many plant species. Inhigher plants, seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) has appeared manytimes independently in different lineages. More than 3000 plantspecies are known to utilize ant assistance to be planted.Myrmecochory is a very interesting and rather enigmatic form ofmutualistic ant-plant associations. This phenomenon is extremelycomplex, because there are hundreds of ant species connected withhundreds of plant species. This book effectively combines a thoroughapproach to investigating morphological and physiological adaptationsof plants with elegant field experiments on the behaviour of ants.This monograph is a first attempt at collecting information aboutmorphology, ecology and phenology of ants and plants from oneecosystem. The book gives readers a panoramic view of the hidden,poorly-known interrelations not only between pairs of ants and plantspecies, but also between species communities in the ecosystem. Theauthors have considered not just one aspect of animal-plantrelationships, but have tried to show them in all their complexity.Some aspects of the ant-plant interact | | 出版日期 | Book 2003 | | 关键词 | Adaptation; ecology; ecosystem; evolution; morphology; Entomology | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-017-0173-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-6317-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-017-0173-0 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2003 |
