Endophytic fungi of grasses protect other plants from aphid herbivory
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
Microbial plant symbionts are widely spread in nature changing the way their hosts interact with their environment. Neotyphodium fungal endophytes (Clavicipitaceae) are grass symbionts known by their production of alkaloids, ...
Leaf damage induces ant recruitment in the Amazonian ant-plant Hirtella myrmecophila
(Cambridge Univ PressNew YorkEUA, 2004)
Tending ants protect honeydew-producing whiteflies (Homoptera : Aleyrodidae)
(Entomol Soc AmerLanhamEUA, 2001)
Insights into a novel three-partner interaction between ants, coreids (Hemiptera: Coreidae) and extrafloral nectaries: implications for the study of protective mutualisms
(Springer, 2017-08)
Extrafloral nectar of plants and honeydew of hemipterans are the common mediators of facultative interactions that involve ants as a mobile strategy of defence. The outcome of these interactions can vary from mutualistic ...
The ecological function of extrafloral nectaries: Herbivore deterrence by visiting ants and reproductive output in Caryocar brasiliense (Caryocaraceae)
(Blackwell Science LtdOxfordInglaterra, 1997)
The interplay between the effectiveness of the grass-endophyte mutualism and the genetic variability of the host plant
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-09)
Neotyphodium endophytic fungi, the asexual state of Epichloë species, protect cool-season grasses against stresses. The outcomes of Neotyphodium-grass symbioses are agronomically relevant as they may affect the productivity ...
Plant glandular trichomes mediate protective mutualism in a spider-plant system
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-08-01)
1. Although several species of Peucetia (Oxyopidae) live strictly in association with plants bearing glandular trichomes worldwide, to date little is known about whether these associations are mutualistic.2. In this study ...
