In Silico Molecular Studies of Antiophidic Properties of the Amazonian Tree Cordia nodosa Lam. [PDF]
We carried out surveys on the use of Cordia nodosa Lam. in the jungles of Bobonaza (Ecuador). We documented this knowledge to prevent its loss under the Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol.

Do Host Plant and Associated Ant Species Affect Microbial Communities in Myrmecophytes? [PDF]
Ant-associated microorganisms can play crucial and often overlooked roles, and given the diversity of interactions that ants have developed, the study of the associated microbiomes is of interest.

Formation and structure of food bodies in Cordia nodosa (Boraginaceae)
Cordia nodosa Lamark (Boraginaceae) is a myrmecophyte (i.e., plants housing ants in hollow structures) that provisions associated ants with food bodies (FBs) produced 24 h a day. Distributed over all the young parts of the plants, they induce ants to forage continually and so to protect the plants.

The Direct and Ecological Costs of an Ant-Plant Symbiosis [PDF]
How strong is selection for cheating in mutualisms? The answer depends on the type and magnitude of the costs of the mutualism. Here we investigated the direct and ecological costs of plant defense by ants in the association between Cordia nodosa, a ...

A fortuitous ant-fern association in the Amazon lowlands of Peru
Myrmecophyly is best documented among tropical epiphytes, and myrmecotrophy occurs especially among domatia-forming plants. We report the case of Polytaenium cajenense with "external" domatia and its use by the same symbiont ant as its host Cordia ...

Se investigaron las interacciones químicas entre hormigas obreras “patrulladoras” y “de domacio” de Allomerus demerarae Wheeler, 1935 y la planta mirmecofila Cordia nodosa Lam. Se determinaron diferencias entre la intensidad de atracción de hormigas hacia los compuestos volátiles de cuatro estímulos químicos: extractos de hojas jóvenes, de hojas ...
