Tree richness affects ground‐ant diversity and seed dispersal in a tropical biodiversity–ecosystem function experiment
The global loss of plant diversity is expected to have reverberating effects on other trophic
levels, affecting the structure and functioning of ecosystems. To understand such effects …

Evaluation of seed‐dispersal services by ants at a temperate pasture: Results of direct observations in an ant suppression experiment
Ants disperse seeds of many plant species adapted to myrmecochory. While advantages of
this ant–plant mutualism for myrmecochorous plants (myrmecochores) have been previously …

Effects of anthropogenic disturbances on diaspore removal by ants: A meta-analysis
Anthropogenic changes in natural landscapes are identified as a major driver of biodiversity
loss worldwide. Consequently, important ecosystem functions, such as seed dispersal by …
