The ecology and evolution of ant association in the lycaenidae (lepidoptera)

Naomi E. Pierce, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2002 - 
TL;DR: Both demographic and phylogenetic evidence indicate that ant association has shaped the evolution of obligately associated groups, and further research on phylogeny and natural history, particularly of the Neotropical fauna, will be necessary to understand the role ants have played in the Evolution of the Lycaenidae.

Aphytophagy in butterflies : its relationship to myrmecophily

C. B. Cottrell
- 01 Jan 1984 - 
TL;DR: The regular or obligate aphytophagy of certain lycaenid butterflies (Lepidoptera) is discussed within the framework of the most recent general classification of the family, with emphasis falling on the ecology of myrmecophilous early stages and the significance of their ant-related adaptations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutualism between Thisbe irenea butterflies and ants, and the role of ant ecology in the evolution of larval‐ant associations

Philip J. DeVries
- 01 Jul 1991 - 
TL;DR: Observations and literature records indicate that ant taxa which tend butterfly larvae are the same taxa that tend extrafloral nectaries and Homoptera, and hence, ant-larval mutualisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butterflies and ants : the communicative domain

Konrad Fiedler, +2 more
- 01 Jan 1996 - 
TL;DR: The sophisticated communication between obligate myrmecophiles and their host ants is tightly connected with the evolutionary rise of specialized life-cycles and thus is a source of augmenting diversity within the butterflies.
