Ants Sow the Seeds of Global Diversification in Flowering Plants

PLOS ONE, 4(5).

By: S. Lengyel n, A. Gove*, A. Latimer *, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: S. Lengyel n, A. Gove*, A. Latimer *, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Ecosystem; Magnoliopsida / classification; Magnoliopsida / growth & development; Phylogeny; Seeds / growth & development
TL;DR: Myrmecochory provides the best example to date for a consistent effect of any mutualism on large-scale diversification in angiosperm plants, and diversification rates were substantially higher in ant-dispersed plants than in their non-myRMecochorous relatives. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 review

Convergent evolution of seed dispersal by ants, and phylogeny and biogeography in flowering plants: A global survey

[Review of ]. PERSPECTIVES IN PLANT ECOLOGY EVOLUTION AND SYSTEMATICS, 12(1), 43–55.

By: S. Lengyel n, A. Gove*, A. Latimer *, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n 

Contributors: S. Lengyel n, A. Gove*, A. Latimer *, J. Majer * & R. Dunn n 

author keywords: Angiosperm diversification; Elaiosome; Mutualism; Plant-animal interactions; Plant diversity; Plant fitness
TL;DR: The taxonomic, phylogenetic and biogeographic distribution of myrmecochory in flowering plants is reviewed and it is shown that myrmicochory has evolved in most of the major angiosperm lineages and that it is more frequent in younger families (crown group age) than in older families.

2008 journal article

Clutch size determination in shorebirds: revisiting incubation limitation in the pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta)

JOURNAL OF ANIMAL ECOLOGY, 78(2), 396–405.

By: S. Lengyel n, B. Kiss & C. Tracy *

author keywords: clutch manipulation; cost of reproduction; life history; optimal clutch size; precocial birds
MeSH headings : Animals; Charadriiformes / physiology; Clutch Size / physiology; Reproduction / physiology
TL;DR: This study supports the incubation-limitation hypothesis (ILH) and points to the importance of monitoring reproductive success beyond the hatching of the chicks, and provides evidence that incubating unusually large clutches can affect post-hatching performance and lead to lower annual reproductive success in shorebirds.

2008 journal article

Habitat monitoring in Europe: a description of current practices

BIODIVERSITY AND CONSERVATION, 17(14), 3327–3339.

By: S. Lengyel n, E. Deri*, Z. Varga *, R. Horvath *, B. Tothmeresz *, P. Henry *, A. Kobler*, L. Kutnar * ...

author keywords: 2010 target; Biodiversity research; Ecosystem monitoring; Habitats Directive; Nature conservation
TL;DR: The survey demonstrates promising developments in European habitat monitoring but also underlines the need for better spatial coverage, documentation of spatial variaton, improved sampling design and advanced data analysis, if improvements are to judge progress towards the 2010 biodiversity targets.
