Ant protection against herbivores and nectar thieves in Passiflora coccinea flowers
In this study we describe the ant assemblage visiting both foliar and bracteal extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) of Passiflora coccinea, investigate the protective role provided by ants against both herbivores and nectar-thief butterflies, and analyze possible fitness benefits for the plant (i.e., fruit and seed production) resulting from the presence of ...

Does rainfall affect temporal variability of ant protection inPassiflora coccinea?
Écoscience, 2001AbstractIn this study we present evidence for a short-term reduction of ant activity on extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) of Passiflora coccinea (Aubl., Passifloraceae) after episodes of rainfall. We monitored ant attack of simulated herbivores (termites) before and after watering treatments on reproductive branches of P.
