Safe sex: ant defense does not interfere with pollination in passion flowers

Safe sex: ant defense does not interfere with pollination in passion flowers

ABSTRACT Ant defense against floral enemies incurs a two-fold ant-pollinator conflict, both via pollinator deterrence and nectar or pollen collection by non-pollinating protective ants. Some ant-plants have physical barriers whereas others produce ant-repellent chemicals to avoid ant visitation to f...
