Differences in the behaviour of model and non-model species of ants in interactions with the pod-sucking myrmecomorphic bug, Riptortus linearis (Hemiptera: Alydidae)

Differences in the behaviour of model and non-model species of ants in interactions with the pod-sucking myrmecomorphic bug, Riptortus linearis (Hemiptera: Alydidae)

Ants are common invertebrate models of many myrmecomorphic arthropods since they are unpalatable and pose a threat for many species. Natural habitats harbour a diverse community of different species of ants and their mimics. The myrmecomorphic bug, Riptortus linearis uses a variety of extrafloral ne...
