THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]
, 1982 Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.

Attraction of flower visitors to plants that express indirect defence can minimize ecological costs of ant-pollinator conflicts [PDF]
, 2017 Thousands of plant species throughout tropical and temperate zones secrete extrafloral nectar (EFN) (see www.biosci.unl.edu/emeriti/keeler/extrafloral/worldlistfamilies.htm) to attract ants, whose presence leads to an indirect defence against herbivores (

Floral Longevity and Nectar Secretion of Platanthera chlorantha (Custer) Rchb. (Orchidaceae) [PDF]
Annals of Botany, 2003 Flowering and nectar secretion were studied in Platanthera chlorantha in two years. Nectar was secreted and accumulated in this orchid's spur, originating from part of the labellum. The nectary spur was, on average, 32 mm long. It produced 6.86 micro l nectar in 1999 and 7.84 micro l in 2000.

Origin and ontogeny of the extrafloral nectaries associated to the inflorescences of Vigna candida and Vigna caracalla (Leguminosae, Phaseoleae) [PDF]
, 2015 The morphology , ontogeny and secretion of the extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) in the inflorescences of Vigna candida and Vigna caracalla were studied. The node s along the inflorescences were processed with standard techniques for light as well as scanning
