Revisiting ant-plant-pollinator interactions: plant fitness depends on mutualist identity

Eduardo S Calixto,
Danilo B Santos,
Denise Lange
et al.

Abstract: Two species may share a mutualistic interaction if the benefits gained by the interaction outweigh the costs incurred. In this study, we tested experimentally how the identity of ants (pinned) and floral visitors of an extrafloral nectary (EFN)-bearing plant can affect plant fitness. We quantified ant activity and floral visitor visitation overlap over time, floral visitor behaviour, amount of floral resources collected, and plant fitness as influenced by the ant species identity in an EFN-bearing plant from B… Show more
