Indirect benefits of symbiotic coccoids for an ant-defended myrmecophytic tree.
The net benefits of mutualism depend directly on the costs and effectiveness of mutualistic services and indirectly on the interactions that affect those services. We examined interactions among Cordia alliodora myrmecophytic trees, their symbiotic ants Azteca pittieri, coccoid hemipterans, and foliar herbivores in two Neotropical dry forests. The tree makes two investments in symbiotic ants: i...
متن کاملMutualistic ants as an indirect defence against leaf pathogens.
Mutualistic ants are commonly considered as an efficient indirect defence against herbivores. Nevertheless, their indirect protective role against plant pathogens has been scarcely investigated. We compared the protective role against pathogens of two different ant partners, a mutualistic and a parasitic ant, on the host plant Acacia hindsii (Fabaceae). The epiphytic bacterial community on leav...
متن کاملProtection Mutualisms and the Community: Geographic Variation in an Ant-Plant Symbiosis and the Consequences for Herbivores
Mutualistic interactions between species can strongly affect the structure of ecological communities (Stachowicz, 2001; Bruno et al. 2003; Hay et al., 2004). For example, animal seed dispersal can determine the composition of tropical-tree communities (Terborgh et al., 2008), and pollinator preferences can favor the spread of certain plant species (Chittka and Schürkens, 2001). Protection mutua...
متن کاملBears benefit plants via a cascade with both antagonistic and mutualistic interactions.
Predators can influence primary producers by generating cascades of effects in ecological webs. These effects are often non-intuitive, going undetected because they involve many links and different types of species interactions. Particularly, little is understood about how antagonistic (negative) and mutualistic (positive) interactions combine to create cascades. Here, we show that black bears ...
متن کاملAphids Alter the Community-wide Impact of Fire Ants
Positive species interactions have the potential to strongly influence the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, yet surprisingly few studies have documented their general importance. We tested the hypothesis that the mutualistic association between fire ants and aphids enhances the impact of fire ants on the herbivorous and predaceous arthropod community of cotton. We found that th...
