Impacts of Leaf Damage Intensity on Ant–Plant Protection Mutualism and Plant Fitness

Herbivores can negatively impact plant reproduction by altering floral traits, pollination, and fruit production. To counteract this, plants developed defense mechanisms, such as the biotic defense resulting from associations with ants. The aim of this study was to investigate whether leaf herbivory...
