Myrmecochorous dispersal distances: a world survey

Myrmecochorous dispersal distances are reviewed; the seed dispersal curve generated by ants shows a characteristic peak at short distances and a long tail, a shape suited to small densities of safe sites. Mean global distance is of 0.96 m (n = 2524) with a range of 0.01-77 m. Data have been broken d...
