Article Insects as Flower Visitors and Pollinators

Hi there, actually they seems to be important pollinatior of a little group of plants. Page 10 of Faegri and Pijl mention them in non Angiosperm group. Page 53 also talk about its geographic importance, 65 related to extra-floral nectaries, 66 ant biology, 68 nectar thieves, 109 detail the ant pollination and biology, 169 a case history. I also suggest a classic Hickman, J. C. 1974 Pollination by ants: a low-energy system. Science 184: 1290-1292.  Also there is a lot of other literature that google will help you to find.

THnak indeed

Yes, ant can pollinate (mirmemocoria in italian) https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirmecoria

we can have this in Viola, Chelidonium, Galanthus etc.

Dear Marinangeli,

Your attached  papers on seed dispersal. and not about flower pollination. Counld you pl send me papers related to  flower pollination by ants. Thanks.

sena

One example is Leporella fimbricata (Orchidaceae), which is apparently exclusively pollinated by pseudocopulation of Myrmecia urens (see Leins, P., & Erbar, C., 2008. Blüte und Frucht: Morphologie, Entwicklungsgeschichte, Phylogenie, Funktion und Ökologie. Schweizerbart, which includes a couple of paragraphs on ant pollination).

Thanks Daniel for your inputs

pollination by ants is called myrmacophily

Formica argentea worker ants have been observed carrying pollen grains between flowers of Cascade knotweed (Polygonum cascadense). Other species of Formica ants distribute pollen among the flowers of elf orpine (Diamorpha smallii, a compact herb that grows on granite outcrops. In Australia, ants pollinate several orchids and lilies effectively.

The following paper explained why there is scarcity in ants pollination occurrence and under which circumstances it does happen -considering the prime factor that ants are expert nectar thieves-:

Chapter ANTS AS POLLINATORS OF PLANTS AND THE ROLE OF FLORAL SCENTS

From the previous study review:

1. Plants cross-fertilisation mechanism and occurrences (allogamy) should not be underestimated with the habitual visit done by ants.

 2.More studies are needed on the seedlings factor production that enhances plant fitness from ant pollination effect.

3. The repelling effect of floral scent functioning as a deterrent of nectar collection by ants; on the other hand, facilitating ants pollination needs more elucidation in further study.
