Specialized Myrmecophily at the Ecological Dawn of Modern Ants [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Myrmecophiles--species that depend on ant societies--include some of the most morphologically and behaviorally specialized animals known. Remarkable adaptive characters enable these creatures to bypass fortress-like security, integrate into colony life, and exploit abundant resources and protection inside ant nests.

Ecological intensification for biocontrol of aphids requires severing myrmecophily [PDF]
Journal of Pest ScienceWith the rollback of insecticides, novel tools for pest control are urgently needed. Aphids are particularly a major concern with few sustainable control alternatives. Ecological intensification has been promoted as a way of "inviting" back nature's self-regulating abilities into agricultural production systems.

Aphytophagy in butterflies: its relationship to myrmecophily
Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1984 The regular or obligate aphytophagy of certain lycaenid butterflies (Lepidoptera) is discussed within the framework of the most recent general classification of the family. A summary survey of all Lycaenidae known to be aphytophagous is presented, together with a brief account of cannibalism and other opportunistic aphytophagy exhibited by normally ...

Myrmecophily in Hesperiidae. The case of Vettius tertianus in ant gardens
Comptes Rendus De L'Académie Des Sciences Série 3, Sciences De La Vie, 2000The larvae of the hesperiid butterfly Vettius tertianus develop by eating the leaves of Aechmea mertensii, a bromeliad epiphyte restricted to ant gardens. The relationships between ants and V. tertianus larvae highlight the preferential association of the caterpillars with Pachycondyla goeldii (Ponerinae), an ant-garden initiator.

Ant attendance in aphids: why different degrees of myrmecophily?
Ecological Entomology, 1999Summary 1. Aphids show a range of associations with ants from nonattendance to obligate myrmecophily. Aphis fabae cirsiiacanthoides is facultatively associated with ants, while Symydobius oblongus is an obligate myrmecophile.

Lycaenid butterflies and plants: is myrmecophily associated with particular hostplant preferences?
Ethology Ecology and Evolution, 1995Life-history data on 1050 phytophagous species of the butterfly subfamily Lycaeninae were used to examine previously suggested correlations between hostplant use and myrmecophily. Myrmecophily is an ancestral character of the Lycaeninae, which has been reduced independently in a number of lineages (secondary myrmecoxenes). Members of the order Fabales (
