treehoppers transfer parental care to ants: a new benefit of mutualism. | female treehoppers (publilia reticulata van duzee) modify their parental care behavior in the presence of ants. females with untended young remain with their original brood, but females from ant-tended colonies readily desert their first brood and produce additional clutches. care by female treehoppers, in the absence of ants, increases the probability that a colony will produce some survivors, but ant attendance greatly increases the number of surviving nymphs. | 1983 | 17816224 |
