Plants with Extrafloral Nectaries and Ants in Everglades Habitats
The terrestrial vegetation of the inland areas of the Everglades is of three main types, occurring on oolite limestone substrate of progressively higher elevation: sawgrass prairie, or glade; pineland; and hardwood hammock. Nectar-drinking ant abundance was assessed using transects of honey baits, and is highest in pineland, and lowest in glade habitat.

Morphological characterization of extrafloral nectaries in Brazilian Amazonian plant species
Background and Aims: Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are secretory glands of an aqueous solution composed mainly of sugars, amino acids and lipids, frequently used as food resource by ants, which tend to protect their host plants against herbivorous ...
