红火蚁对蚁运植物种子影响的研究概况
Review of the effects of red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta Buren) on the seed of myrmecochorous plants
摘要
Abstract
The mutualistic relationship between ants and myrmecochorous plants is a common phenomenon .The seed elaiosomes of myrmecochorous plants are preyed and consumed by ants , which remove and disperse the seeds , in return, benefit from the seeds′germination and growth .The red imported fire ant , Solenopsis invicta, is a dangerous and destructive invader;the lack of natural en-emies of this species results in population booms in areas where they invade .S.invicta has significant negative impacts on ecosys-tems and biodiversity , but the interrelation between S.invicta and myrmecochorous plant has rarely been known .The present review summarized the preference and removal behavior of S.invicta on the elaiosome of myrmecochorous plants .Additionally, the direct (removed, preyed, scarified, and destroyed) and indirect effects (expelled native ants) of S.invicta on the elaiosome of myrmeco-chorous plants were also discussed .Finally, some suggestions were proposed for the potential study orientation of the relationship be -tween S.invicta and myrmecochorous plants .关键词
