The Ecological Effects of Ant-Aphid Mutualism on Plants at a Large Spatial Scale
The protective ant-plant interaction has been considered as a model system in studying mutualistic interactions, but we know little about the ecological effects of the mutualism at relatively larger spatial scales. In this study, by excluding an aphid-tending ant species (Lasius fuliginosus) from al...
