Abstract:The mutualistic relationship between ants and myrmecochorous plants is a common phenomenon. The seed elaiosomes of myrmecochorous plants are preyed and consumed by ants, which remove and disperse the seeds, in return, benefit from the seeds′ germination and growth. The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, is a dangerous and destructive invader; the lack of natural enemies of this species results in population booms in areas where they invade. S.invicta has significant negative impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity, but the interrelation between S.invicta and myrmecochorous plant has rarely been known. The present review summarized the preference and removal behavior of S.invicta on the elaiosome of myrmecochorous plants. Additionally, the direct (removed, preyed, scarified, and destroyed) and indirect effects (expelled native ants) of S.invicta on the elaiosome of myrmecochorous plants were also discussed. Finally, some suggestions were proposed for the potential study orientation of the relationship between S.invicta and myrmecochorous plants.
