Ants were common seed predators, especially at lower latitudes (one of our driest sites, Baja, Mexico). This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Feb. 20th, 2019, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by A.L. Hargreaves at University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and colleagues was titled, "Seed predation increases from the Arctic to the Equator and from high to low elevations."
