Myrmecomorphy and Myrmecophily in Spiders: A Review
Myrmecomorphs are arthropods that have evolved a morphological resemblance to ants. Myrmecophiles are arthropods that live in or near ant nests and are considered true symbionts. The literature and natural history information about spider myrmecomorphs and myrmecophiles are reviewed.

Myrmecophily and termitophily in beetles of the superfamily Scarabaeoidea [PDF]
Myrmecophily and termitophily are strategies of life, that have evolved in many lineages of arthropods. The largest diversity of myrmecophiles and termitophiles is found in the insect order Coleoptera (beetles).

Phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Luciini showing Bayesian chronogram of evolution inferred with BEAST 1.10.4 and new monotypic genus Paradipsas Braby, gen. nov. Luciini are obligatorily associated with ants. Ant associations (subfamily and genus) with larvae of each butterfly species are indicated by tip circle colours. Ant attendance appears to be the

We conducted a year‐long study in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park, focusing on nine understory Annonaceae species to investigate herbivory patterns and herbivore‐host associations. Our findings revealed significant temporal fluctuations in leaf damage, with Anaxagorea brevipes and Unonopsis veneficiorum experiencing higher herbivore pressure, and ...
