Plants with extrafloral nectaries share indirect defenses and shape the local arboreal ant community
Associational resistance (AR) is a positive interaction in which a plant suffers less herbivore
damage due to its association with a protective plant. Here, we evaluated whether plants …

Plant species with larger extrafloral nectaries produce better quality nectar when needed and interact with the best ant partners
Few studies have explored the phenotypic plasticity of nectar production on plant
attractiveness to ants. Here, we investigate the role of extrafloral nectary (EFN) size on the …

Extrafloral Nectary-Bearing Plants Recover Ant Association Benefits Faster and More Effectively after Frost-Fire Events Than Frost
GF Porto, JH Pezzonia, K Del-Claro - Plants, 2023 - mdpi.com
The Cerrado confronts threats such as fire and frost due to natural or human-induced factors.
These disturbances trigger attribute changes that impact biodiversity. Given escalating …

Dear neighbor: Trees with extrafloral nectaries facilitate defense and growth of adjacent undefended trees
Plant diversity can increase productivity. One mechanism behind this biodiversity effect is
facilitation, which is when one species increases the performance of another species. Plants …

Mutualistic interactions between plants with extrafloral nectaries and ants: ecological impacts, ant sharing among neighboring plants, and the effects of environmental …
R do Rosario Nogueira - Community Ecology, 2025 - Springer
Mutualistic interactions between plants bearing extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) and ants are key
ecological processes in many ecosystems, particularly in the Neotropics. These interactions …

Extrafloral nectaries exhibit dual ecological functions in a plant from the Brazilian Cerrado
Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are nectar-secreting plant glands not related to pollination.
Several not mutually exclusive hypotheses explain the ecological function of EFNs. We …

Fabaceae and Cerrado savanna: Two descriptors of Brazilian extrafloral nectary plants
VDC Barbosa, A Bächtold, K Del-Claro, EA Silva - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) have been described in almost 4000 plant species, but there are
several gaps in our knowledge of their occurrence and distribution. Here, we investigated …
