英國《新科學人》（New Scientist）雜誌2009年最佳科學圖書，令人為之驚嘆的種子生命演化歷程。 學校老師都教過，植物是由種子生長而來。但種子又從那裡來？《種子哪裡來？》作者強納森．席佛頓告訴我們，種子當然不是從花店買來這樣簡單，其背後是一個長達數千年的自然史歷程。從一粒撒在焙果上的芝麻，到重達二十公斤的海椰子，「種子」提醒我們地球上存在各種複雜多變的植物樣貌，而其生成之初均源於此。

Mutualistic interactions between ants and plants involve rewards offered by plants and services performed by ants in a mutually advantageous relationship. The rewards are principally food and/or nest sites, and ants in turn perform a number of services for plants: they disperse and plant seeds; they protect foliage, buds, and reproductive structures from enemies such as herbivores and seed predators; they fertilize plants with essential nutrients; and they may sometimes function as pollinators. In this book, initially published in 1985, Professor Beattie reviews the fascinating natural history of ant–plant interactions, discusses the scientific evidence for the mutualistic nature of these relationships, and reaches some conclusions about the ecological and evolutionary processes that mold them. This important work explores the natural history, experimental approach, and integration with contemporary evolutionary and ecological literature of the time will appeal to a wide variety of bio
