Aphid Ecology An optimization approach
TL;DR: The aim of this book is to provide a history of resource tracking in space and some of the techniques used have been described, as well as some new approaches, that have been proposed and tested in the laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions involving plants, homoptera, and ants
TL;DR: These plant-homopteran-ant interactions are significant for several reasons, as they provide a link between studies of single-species life histories and two-species interactions on the one hand, and studies of overall community or ecosystem pattern and process on the other.

How plants shape the ant community in the Amazonian rainforest canopy: the key role of extrafloral nectaries and homopteran honeydew.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the high availability of homopteran honeydew provides a key resource for ant mosaics, where dominant ant colonies and species maintain mutually exclusive territories on trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host plant and ants influence the honeydew sugar composition of aphids
TL;DR: Honeydew composition is an important factor in mediating ant–homopteran mutualisms and the trisaccharide melezitose is especially significant in this interaction, but it is shown for the first time that ant tending may itself influence honeyd Dew composition.

Kotabgabe von holidisch ernährten myzus persicae‐larven (aphidina, homoptera) bei unterschiedlichen experimentalbedingungen
H. Kunkel,R. Hertel +1 more
TL;DR: Die Kotabgabe ist regelmäßig bei konstanten Bedingungen, wird aber erhöht: 1. in der Photophase bei Wechsellicht, 2. mit steigender Temperatur and 3. bei abnehmender Besiedlungsdichte, extreme Erhöhung bei Einzelhaltung.
