An Unusual Animal-Plant Interaction: Feeding of Schomburgkia tibicinis (Orchidaceae) by Ants

American Journal of Botany, 1989
The hollow pseudobulbs of Schomburgkia tibicinis (Orchidaceae; Central America) serve as domatia for many species of ants. The ants pack many of the pseudobulbs with debris including dead insects, plant material, and sand. Ants were fed 14C‐labelled D‐glucose in honey, killed, and placed in the pseudobulbs for up to eight weeks. Samples of plant tissue

Animal–plant interactions

2009
Population dynamics of plant species of coastal sand dunes is influenced directly, both above and below the soil surface, by a wide variety of organisms. Plants serve as sources of carbon and pathogens including viruses, insects, bacteria, fungi, birds, and mammals of various kinds.

Indirect interactions mediated by leaf shelters in animal–plant communities

Population Ecology, 2001
AbstractLeaf shelters indirectly mediate interactions in animal–plant communities by providing the occupants with several kinds of benefits, as physical ecosystem engineering. The occupants benefit from favorable microhabitat, reduction in antiherbivore defense, and protection from natural enemies. The primary shelter maker has to spend energy and time
