Various chemical strategies to deceive ants in three Arhopala species (lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) exploiting Macaranga myrmecophytes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Macaranga myrmecophytes (ant-plants) are generally well protected from herbivore attacks by their symbiotic ants (plant-ants). However, larvae of Arhopala (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) species survive and develop on specific Macaranga ant-plant species ...

Review and Phylogenetic Evaluation of Associations between Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) and Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2013
The immature stages of hoverflies of the subfamily Microdontinae (Diptera: Syrphidae) develop in ant nests, as predators of the ant brood. The present paper reviews published and unpublished records of associations of Microdontinae with ants, in order to

Arthropod fauna of mammal-pollinated Protea humiflora: Ants as an attractant for insectivore pollinators? [PDF]

, 2003
Protea humiflora Andrews inflorescences are cryptic, but strongly scented and borne close to the ground (geoflorous) for ready access by small, non-flying mammals. During a study of P.

Caterpillars and fungal pathogens: two co-occurring parasites of an ant-plant mutualism [PDF]

, 2011
In mutualisms, each interacting species obtains resources from its partner that it would obtain less efficiently if alone, and so derives a net fitness benefit.

Ants indirectly reduce the reproductive performance of a leafless shrub by benefiting aphids through predator deterrence [PDF]

, 2020
Ant–aphid mutualisms can generate cas- cade effects on the host plants, but these impacts depend on the ecological context. We studied the consequences of ant–aphid interactions on the repro- ductive performance of a Mediterranean leafless shrub (Retama ...
