Ant-Pollinator Conflict Results in Pollinator Deterrence but no Nectar Trade-Offs [PDF]
, 2018 Direct and indirect negative interactions between ant guards and pollinators on ant-plants are expected for two reasons. First, aggressive ants may deter pollinators directly.

Mechanismen, die Pflanzen-Ameisen Interaktionen, ermöglichen: Acacia-Pseudomyrmex als Modellsystem [PDF]
, 2009 Mutualisms are interactions among different species that lead to net fitness benefits for all partners involved. In plant-ant mutualisms, plants provide to ants an array of rewards, such as extrafloral nectar (EFN), food bodies, or nesting space.

Insect visitation of peduncular and petiolar extrafloral nectar glands on castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) plants in Southern California [PDF]
, 2014 Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) is a myrmecophytic plant species with specialized extrafloral nectar (EFN) glands that serve to attract predatory insects, which in return defend plant-tissues against herbivores. The EFN glands on castor bean plants are
