1908 New Phytologist 7 25 In the case of plants which combine anemochory with myrmecochory the fruiting axis always remains erect.

1928 C. K. Ogden tr. A. Forel Social World of Ants I. ii. iii. 258 He mixed seeds of an indifferent character with ten others belonging to a plant suspected of myrmecochory, and placed them on an ant-track; he then noticed the time the ants took to transport the second kind, while they entirely ignored the first.

1965 P. Bell & D. Coombe tr. Strasburger's Textbk. Bot. (new ed.) 636 Seeds may possess variously situated appendages... These may be rich in fat and proteins when, as elaiosomes, they are sought by ants, who thus disperse the seeds (myrmecochory, e.g. in Viola).

1998 Ecology 79 734 These data support the hypothesis that myrmecochory is a true mutualism.
