• Increased availability of extrafloral nectar reduces herbivory in Lima bean plants (Phaseolus lunatus., Fabaceae) (2005, background): “In the majority of studies this issue was addressed by excluding ants using sticky barriers such as Tangletraps (Stephenson, 1982; Labeyrie et al., 2001; Cuautle & Rico-Gray, 2003).”
• Loss and gains in ant–plant interactions mediated by extrafloral nectar: fidelity, cheats, and lies (2016, background): “1, 3) and are effective plant-guards (Ruhren and Handel 1999; Cuautle and Rico-Gray 2003; Nahas et al. 2012; Alves-Silva et al. 2013; Stefani et al. 2015); parasitoids of plant herbivores also increased action in plants with EFNs (Bächtold et al. 2014).”
• Indirect defence via tritrophic interactions. (2008, background): “…mites and ladybird beetles (Pemberton, 1993; Pemberton & Vandenberg, 1993; van Rijn & Tanigoshi, 1999), ichneumonid and braconid wasps (Bugg et al., 1989; Stapel et al., 1997; Cuautle & Rico-Gray, 2003), lacewing larvae (Limburg & Rosenheim, 2001) and spiders (Ruhren & Handel, 1999; Whitney, 2004).”
• Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “A large literature exists on the interactions between ants and extra-floral nectaries in natural habitats of the tropics (e.g., O’Dowd, 1979; Cuautle and Rico-Gray, 2003).”
• Extrafloral nectary-mediated ant-plant interactions in the coastal vegetation of Veracruz, Mexico: Richness, occurrence, seasonality, and ant foraging patterns1 (2004, background): “There is evidence of mutualistic interactions of two plant species with ants (and other EFN visitors) in one of these “high-association” communities, dune scrub (Oliveira et al., 1999; Torres-Hernández et al., 2000; Cuautle & Rico-Gray, 2003).”
