How common and dispersal limited are ant-dispersed plants in eastern deciduous forests?

Robert J. Warren et al.

Summary: The majority of plant diversity in eastern deciduous forests is found in the understory herbaceous layer, with ant-dispersed plants playing a significant role in this ecosystem. However, contrary to previous reports, myrmecochorous plants are less common in understory herbaceous communities but more abundant globally. They also do not seem to be significantly impacted by forest size and fragmentation.

Antagonistic and mutualistic interactions alter seed dispersal of understory plants at forest edges

Wyatt J. Parker et al.

Summary: The study found that seed dispersal in eastern deciduous forests of North America is influenced by landscape characteristics, with fewer ant-dispersed seeds found in edge areas, primarily dispersed by Aphaenogaster sp. Antagonistic interactions with an invasive slug had a more significant negative impact on seed dispersal by ants in edge areas compared to interiors.

Ants of the Palouse Prairie: diversity and species composition in an endangered grassland

Kayla A. Dilworth et al.

Summary: The Palouse Prairie is an endangered grassland habitat with diverse ant communities, but ant studies have been limited. Research found that the highest ant diversity was in an actively managed ecological trust in Idaho, suggesting restoration efforts may increase biodiversity.
