Overview and Perspectives --Literature Cited --IndexAnts are probably the most dominant insect group on Earth, representing ten to fifteen percent of animal biomass in terrestrial ecosystems. Flowering plants, meanwhile, owe their evolutionary success to an array of interspecific interactions-such as pollination, seed dispersal, and herbivory-that have helped to shape their great diversity. The Ecology and Evolution of Ant-Plant Interactions brings together findings from the scientific literature on the coevolution of ants and plants to provide a better understanding of the unparalleled success of these two remarkable groupsInterspecific interactions.AntsEcologyInsect-plant relationshipsAntsEcology.Insect-plant relationships.595.79/6WI 3381SEPArvkRico-Gray Victor1812387Oliveira Paulo S1812388MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972286303321The ecology and evolution of ant-plant interactions4364790UNINA
