RE: Snakes Are Crucial Seed "Rescuers" and Distributors
The same goes for ants. Myrmecochory is the term used for ant seed dispersal. These animals we call pests or run away from might be indirectly saving our lives.
I took an entomology course in college, but there's so much to cover in a single semester, we didn't examine seed dispersal in too much depth (kind of a shame since it's so important). May be work breaking out my old textbook for a good read!
haha, yes for sure. I majored in botany and geology. I kindof wish that I did zoology instead of geography haha. Botany is absolutely fascinating though. Keep up your posts, I like the informative posts more than the: "look it's me again" posts haha.
