Do ant visitors to extrafloral nectaries of plants repel pollinators and cause an indirect cost of mutualism (2014, background): “Ants and spiders can have a complementary effect against he herbivores of Qualea multiflora (Vocysiaceae) without affectng plant fruit-set (Nahas et al., 2012).”
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).”
Influence of extrafloral nectary phenology on ant–plant mutualistic networks in a neotropical savanna (2013, background): “The species belonging to the generalist core in our study, especially C. crassus , C. blandus and C. pusillus , were also found in great abundance and frequency on plants in other studies in the area Bächtold et al., 2012; Nahas et al., 2012).”
