Question

Hello dear native speakers,I'd like to ask you to check a title of a paper we are going to submit after a revision. I'd like to know, if it is gramatically correct and if it sounds ok in english or if there is something odd.Roles of species-preferential seed dispersal by ants and endozoochory in Melampyrum (Orobanchaceae)the alternative is alsoRoles of species-preferential myrmecochorous seed dispersal and endozoochory in Melampyrum (Orobanchaceae)(Myrmecochory = seed dispersal by ants)Thank you for your comments!

...and don't worry about words "myrmecochorous" "endozoochory" and those latin names. These are correct, I need just your opinion if the sentence composition sounds ok. (Particularly I'd like to know if species-preferential seed dispersal can be written like this.)

Smykac · Answer

OK some people told me that they can't give me an advice if they don't understand the words. So here they come:
Myrmecochory = official scientific term for dispersal of seeds by ants
endozoochory = term for dispersal of seeds in animal gut
Melampyrum = latin name of plant genus
Orobanchaceae = latin name of plant family

Short explanation:
We worked with seeds of two species of Melampyrum. We made an experiment in which we found out, that ants prefer seeds of one of the species and disperse them more willingly. Also we tried if ants are only dispersers of these seeds and we found out, that seed can be dispersed also in ruminants gut. (Endozoochory)
