“…However, the role of insect pollination in Cryptochloa needs more evidence to be accepted. The presence of elaiosomes confirms and enforces the role of ants in fruit dispersal in the new species (Davidse 1987, Bronstein et al 2006, Lengyel et al 2010. Dispersal of diaspores via elaiosomes has also been suggested for some panicoid genera (Davidse 1987), including genera occupying the same habitat as Cryptochloa, including C. stapfii, such as Ichnanthus Palisot de Beauvois (1812: 56).…”

“…Luzula, has a fleshy pale seed aril that presumably facilitates ant dispersal of the seeds, as has been documented in hundreds of genera (Handel 1978, Bossard 1991, Gibson 1993, Lengyel et al 2010, Gracie 2012.…”

“…Ant dispersal of seeds has strongly promoted plant diversification in angiosperms (Lengyel et al 2010), with at least 11,000 plant species from 77 families thought to be adapted for seed dispersal by ants (Lengyel et al 2010), many by means of a nutrient-rich seed appendage, the elaiosome (Sernander 1906). These so-called myrmeco-chores are found almost worldwide (Beattie 1985;Lengyel et al 2010) and dominate plant communities in many habitats, in terms of both species richness and abundance (Sernander 1906;Ulbrich 1919;Handel et al 1981).…”

In a seminal study correlating the abundance and species richness of myrmecochores with the abundance of ants in 10 different forest types from West Virginia, Beattie and Culver (1981) found that ant abundance was generally positively correlated with the number of myrmecochorous species in these forests.…”
