Abstract
Polygonum cascadense, a small, apparently self-incompatible, annual plant, is regularly cross-pollinated by the ant Formica argentea. Comparison of other purported ant-pollinated plants with traits favoring such pollination suggests that some, but not all, may be ant pollinated. Ant-pollination interactions are characterized by low expenditure of energy by both ant and plant.
摘要
串珠藤，一种小型、表现为自交不亲和的一年生植物，通常由蚂蚁 Formica argentea 进行异花传粉。对其他具有支持这种传粉特征的所谓蚂蚁授粉植物的比较表明，其中一些可能是蚂蚁授粉的，但并非全部。蚂蚁授粉的相互作用的特点是蚂蚁和植物都消耗较少的能量。
