Caterpillars and Fungal Pathogens: Two Co-Occurring Parasites of an Ant-Plant Mutualism
In mutualisms, each interacting species obtains resources from its partner that it would obtain less efficiently if alone, and so derives a net fitness benefit. In exchange for shelter (domatia) and food, mutualistic plant-ants protect their host myrmecophytes from herbivores, encroaching vines and...
