Neotropical ant-plant Triplaris americana attracts Pseudomyrmex mordax ant queens during seedling stages
The association between the myrmecophyte Triplaris and ants of the genus Pseudomyrmex is an often-reported example of mutualism in the Neotropics. The ants colonize the hollow stems of their hosts, and in exchange, the plants benefit from a reduced degree of herbivory. The previous studies have show...
