Choosing benefits or partners: a review of the evidence for the evolution of myrmecochory (2006, background): “However, whether these traits are under selection pressure related to myrmecochory is still an open question (Garrido et al. 2002).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “An absence of any close coevolution between plants and their seed dispersers has also been shown for other disperser communities, e.g. ants (Garrido et al., 2002).”
Ants affect the distribution and performance of seedlings of Clusia criuva, a primarily bird‐dispersed rain forest tree (2002, background): “Furthermore, the species composition of the ground-dwelling ant assemblage may also affect the outcome of ant–seed interactions, and studies concerning different spatial scales and regions (see Thompson 1999; Garrido et al. 2002) would be worthwhile.”
