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 groups 410 0$aInterspecific interactions. 606 $aAnts$xEcology 606 $aInsect-plant relationships 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnts$xEcology. 615 0$aInsect-plant relationships. 676 $a595.79/6 700 $aRico-Gray$b Victor$0907048 701 $aOliveira$b Paulo S$0907049 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453880803321 996 $aThe ecology and evolution of ant-plant interactions$92028928 997 $aUNINA
