2. Myrmecophyte - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmecophyte

   Myrmecotrophy, meaning "ant-fed," is the ability of plants to absorb nutrients from debris piles left by ant nests or, in the case of Nepenthes bicalcarata, from ant egesta. [13] The tropical tree Cecropia peltata obtains 98% of its nitrogen from the waste deposited by its ant counterparts.

3. Agriculture in ants - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_ants

   Discovered only in 2016, ant farming and agriculture with plants is a rapidly evolving field of discoveries. As of 2022, it is estimated that ants assist in the dispersal of seeds for over 11,000 plant species, are in mutualistic relationships with at least 700 plant species, and engage in purely agricultural processes with hundreds of others.

4. Myrmecochory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myrmecochory

   Myrmecochory is exhibited by more than 3,000 plant species worldwide [3] and is present in every major biome on all continents except Antarctica. [4] Seed dispersal by ants is particularly common in the dry heath and sclerophyll woodlands of Australia (1,500 species) and the South African fynbos (1,000 species).

5. Myrmecophily - Wikipedia

   For example, some lycaenid larvae are taken into ant nests, where they prey on ant brood and offer no services to the ants. [3] Other lycaenids may parasitize ant-plant relationships by feeding on plants that are tended by ants, apparently immune to ant attack because of their own appeasing secretions.

   They have been used in companion planting as pest control in agricultural and garden situations, and in households. Certain plants have shown effectiveness as topical repellents for haematophagous insects, such as the use of lemon eucalyptus in PMD, but incomplete research and misunderstood applications can produce variable results.

   A formicarium, which is a housing for an ant colony. Note the talcum powder/rubbing alcohol lubricant mixture applied around the top perimeter of the enclosure, to prevent ants from escaping. Ant-keeping (or ant keeping) is a hobby involving the capture, care, and observation of ants and ant colonies. [1] It is a form of lay myrmecology. The ...

9. Acacia-ant symbiosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia-ant_symbiosis

   Acacia-ant symbiosis is the interaction between myrmecophilous Vachellia trees (ant acacias) and ants that nest on them (acacia ants). Obligate acacia ants dwell in the gall -like domatia within the swolen stipular spines of African or Central American ant acacia species, and they also take the food ( nectar or Beltian bodies ) offered by the tree.
