Journal ArticleDOI
The soft scale (Coccidae) associates of Malaysian ant-plants
TL;DR: The coccids varied in their host-plant specificity from species that occurred in most of the sampled Macaranga to one species that was found almost exclusively only on a single host species.
Journal ArticleDOI
New trophobiotic symbioses of ants with South East Asian bugs.
TL;DR: A trophobiotic relationship between two species of phloem-feeding plataspid bugs and an ant, Meranoplus mucronatus, was discovered on tree trunks in Malaysia, and the coreids on bamboo were determined as Cloresmus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Camponotus (Colobopsis) (Mayr 1861) and Macaranga (Thouars 1806): a specific two-partner ant-plant system from Malaysia
TL;DR: A completely different myrmecophytic system is discovered in which an ant species of the Formicinae lives in symbiosis with the peat swamp forest tree Macaranga puncticulata, and the mated queens are capable of locating young M. puncticULata.
An unusual myrmecophytic macaranga association, occurring in a disjunct area in the monsoon zone of south-east asia: phenology and the description of a new ant species
TL;DR: A new ant is described in this paper as Camponotus markli, belonging to the Colobopsis vitreus species group, which is a specific partner of its plant, colonizing polydomously several trees and probably defending them against herbivores and climbers.
in Macaranga species with different de,grees of ant association
TL;DR: The hypothesis that non-specific, facultative associations with ants can be advantageous for Macaranga plants is supported and food bodies appear to have lower attractive value for opportunistic ants than EFN and may require a specific dietary adaptation.
