Abstract:

Protective mutualism between ant and Macaranga plants are complex between-species interactions found only in the tropical environment. In such interactions, plants provide housing structures (in the form of domatia) and food (in the form of food bodies) to their ant symbionts. In return, the ants protect their Macaranga plant hosts against herbivore attacks. Macaranga ant protective mutualism is manifested in a wide range of interactions, from facultative to obligate. In facultative interactions, Macaranga plants attract predatory ants to the plant via food rewards. In return, foraging ants ma

Abstract:

This report elucidates the process of settlement by Coccus scale insects into Crematogaster plant-ant nests formed inside the hollow stems of a myrmecophytic species, Macaranga bancana, in a tropical rain forest. We collected wafting scale insect nymphs from the canopy using sticky traps and characterized the DNA sequence of the trapped nymphs. In addition, we experimentally introduced first-instar nymphs of both symbiotic and nonsymbiotic scale insects to M. bancana seedlings with newly formed plant-ant colonies. Nymphs of symbiotic species were generally carried by ants into their nests with

Abstract:

Ant-plant symbioses are complex between-species interactions found only in the tropical environment. Typically, in such symbioses, plants provide housing structures and food to their ant symbionts. In return, the ants protect their plants' host against herbivore attack and additional nutrients to help with plants' growth. These win-win interactions range from facultative to obligate mutualism. This proposal aims to test the three main mechanisms: (1) by-product benefits, (2) partner fidelity feedback and (3) partner choice in stabilising the ant-plant mutualism. Understanding the mechanisms ar

Abstract:

The optimal defence hypothesis predicts that plant parts characterized by a high value and/or a high risk of being attacked should exhibit the highest level of defence. We tested this hypothesis with Macaranga bancana ant-plants, which are protected efficiently by resident, mutualistic ants from herbivores, parasites and encroaching vegetation. Because cost-effective defence of the host by ants increases ant fitness, selection should act on ant behaviour to produce patterns of distribution of defence as predicted for direct chemical defence traits.

Abstract:

Abstract In south-east Asia, myrmecophytic associations have so far been little investigated. Although the euphorb tree genus Macaranga has long been known to contain myrmecophytic ants (Smith 1903) existing information on its association is limited (e.g. Baker 1934; Ong 1978; Tho 1978; Rickson 1980). Nevertheless, the association has often been interpreted as an Asiatic equivalent to similar associations in Africa and America (Janzen 1969; Duviard and Segeren 1974; Buckley 1982). Our study was the first experimental investigation of the biological significance of the Macaranga association wit

Abstract:

Abstract The Euphorbiaceae is a large and diverse plant family, widespread in both the Old and New World tropics (Webster 1967), many members of which have extrafloral nectaries (Elias 1983) or other adaptations that encourage ant visitation. Most studies to date on interactions between ants and Old World members of this family have been conducted on myrmecophytic species, such as Macaranga triloba, which provide specialized food bodies and hollow stem domatia for one or a few species of ants (Ridley 191 O; Tho 1978; Rickson 1980; Maschwitz et al. 1984; Fiala et al. 1989, Chapter 18, this volu
