The influence of leaf characteristics on epiphyllic cover : a test of hypotheses with artificial leaves [PDF]
Studies of epiphyll ecology have been hindered by the biochemical and morphological variability of the leaf substrate. The use of artificial (plastic ribbon tape) leaves solved that problem in a study done at the Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa ...

Association between Pseudonocardia symbionts and Atta leaf-cutting ants suggested by improved isolation methods [PDF]
Fungus-growing ants associate with multiple symbiotic microbes, including Actinobacteria for production of antibiotics.The best studied of these bacteria are within the genus Pseudonocardia, which in most fungus-growing ants are conspicuouslyvisible on ...
