This photo of Setaria faberi (giant foxtail) was taken at the experimental field of the Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University. The photograph was taken by Akira Yamawo. Our research revealed that Setaria viridis (green foxtail) and Setaria faberi (giant foxtail) are the first known grass species to form a myrmecochorous (ant‐dispersal) mutualism.
