These "ant gardens" (AGs) were most often inhabited by parabiotic ants, Camponotus femoratus and Crematogaster cf. limata parabiotica, whose polygy... | Ant competition; Ant garden; Ant-plant interaction; Coadaptation; Epiphyte; Mutualism; Parabiosis; Preadaptation; Peru; Seed dispersal; Tropical rainforest | 1988 |

Davidson, Diane W. | Pruning of host plant neighbors by ants: an experimental approach | Some ants of myrmecophytic plants either obligately or facultatively prune vegetation surrounding their host trees. Pruning behavior occurs at higher frequency in ants with sting defenses than in those with chemical defenses, which may generally convey an advantage in aggressive encounters between a... | Allelopathy; Allomerus demararae; Ant-plant interactions; Ants; Cordia nodosa; Crematogaster; Mutualism; Peru; Plant-animal interaction; Pseudomyrmex; Triplaris americana | 1988 |
