Do bromeliads affect the arboreal ant communities on orange trees in northwestern Costa Rica?

PLoS ONE, 2022
Ants often interact with other invertebrates as predators or mutualists. Epiphytic bromeliads provide nesting sites for ants, and could increase ant abundances in the tree canopy.

Negative effects of ant-plant interaction on pollination: costs of a mutualism

Sociobiology, 2021
The mutualism of ants and extrafloral nectary (EFN)-bearing plants is known to reduce rates of herbivory. However, ants may have negative impacts on other mutualisms such as pollination, constituting an indirect cost of a facultative mutualism.

Native and invasive ants affect floral visits of pollinating honey bees in pumpkin flowers (Cucurbita maxima)

Scientific Reports, 2021
Global pollinator decline is a major concern. Several factors—climate change, land-use change, the reduction of flowers, pesticide use, and invasive species—have been suggested as the reasons.

Morphophysiological differences between the metapleural glands of fungus-growing and non-fungus-growing ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The metapleural gland is an organ exclusive to ants. Its main role is to produce secretions that inhibit the proliferation of different types of pathogens.

Urban tropical forest islets as hotspots of ants in general and invasive ants in particular

Scientific Reports, 2022
Urbanization is a crucial driver of environmental and biodiversity change. It is suggested that urbanization favours generalist and invasive species and might harm specialists of natural and semi-natural habitats.

Uninformed sacrifice: evidence against long-range alarm transmission in foraging ants exposed to a localized perturbation

, 2015
It is well stablished that danger information can be transmitted by ants through relatively small distances, provoking either a state of alarm when they move away from potentially dangerous stimulus, or charge toward it aggressively.
