Bottom-up mediation of an ant-membracid mutualism: effects from different host plants
Abstract
Experimental manipulation of the presence of ants in two different years indicated that the existence of ants had a positive effect on nymph numbers on both host plants, Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus and Wyethia spp, but not on WyethIA spp.
