Appendix A. Ant taxa recorded on reproductive plants of H. foetidus during the whole study period in 10 different populations of the Iberian Peninsula. The interactive behavior of every ant species toward H. foetidus diaspores and the relative abundance is also given. Only interactive visits are included. Highest record of the percentage of diaspore visited (abundance) per plant in each population and year are boldtyped.
