What seeds are dispersed by insects?
Insects, particularly ants, bees, and beetles, play a crucial role in the dispersal of various seeds. Ants often carry seeds with elaiosomes, nutrient-rich structures that attract them, helping to transport and bury the seeds in their nests. Bees can also contribute to seed dispersal by pollinating flowers and inadvertently carrying seeds on their bodies. Additionally, some beetles consume fruits and disperse seeds through their droppings, aiding in plant reproduction.
