Ant (Dolichoderinae) are known to selectively grow species of epiphytic "Squamellaria" (Rubiaceae) which produce large domatia inside which the ant colonies nest. The ants plant the seeds and the domatia of young seedling are immediately occupied and the ant faeces in them contribute to rapid growth. Similar dispersal associations are found with other dolichoderines in the region as well. Another example of this type of ectosymbiosis comes from the "Macaranga" tree, which has stems adapted to house colonies of "Crematogaster" ants. Many tropical tree species have seeds that are dispersed by ants. Seed dispersal by ants or myrmecochory is widespread and
Correct name orthographical variants. The zoological equivalent of "correct name" is "valid name". Different taxonomic placements may well lead to different correct names. For example, the earliest name for the fastest growing tree in the world is "Adenanthera falcataria" L. The "L." stands for "Linnaeus" who first validly published the name. "Adenanthera falcataria" is thus one of the correct names for this plant. There are other correct names, based on different taxonomic treatments. The four names "Adenanthera falcataria", "Albizia falcataria", "Paraserianthes falcataria" and "Falcataria moluccana" are each correct, given that the plant is placed in these four genera. Which is the 'right'
