Recurrent breakdowns of mutualisms with ants in the neotropical ant-plant genus Cecropia (Urticaceae)
Mutualisms could be evolutionarily unstable, with changes in partner abundances or in the spatial context of interactions potentially promoting their dissolution. We test this prediction using the defense mutualisms between species of the Neotropical genus Cecropia and Azteca ants. A new, multigene...
