Endozoochory by beetles and ants in the holoparasitic plant Cynomorium songaricum

This study eluciates the role of invertebrates in the seed dispersal of desert parasitic plants. We believe that different seed dispersal agents at each level play a distinct role on the sequential seed dispersal of C. songaricum, constituting the significant stages various in the dispersal process.

本研究阐明了无脊椎动物在沙漠寄生植物种子传播中的作用。我们认为，不同层级的种子传播媒介在C. songaricum的连续式种子传播过程中发挥着独特作用，构成了该传播进程中各具差异的关键环节。
