Extrafloral nectary drinking ants are known as effective plant guards, but some herbivores may circumvent ant attacks by foraging on different plant parts or presenting adaptations to avoid ant predation. Here we experimentally investigated the effect of Camponotus blandus on the florivory of the extrafloral nectaried shrub Banisteriopsis malifolia; and a possible spatial segregation between ants and herbivores (leaves and flowers). Flower buds are attacked by Anthonomus weevils. Results revealed no significant influence of C. blandus on the reduction of florivory. Adult Anthonomus are hard-bodied and were immune to ant bites; larvae are endophytic, so protected from ants. Ants and adult beetles were concentrated in different plant parts (leaves and flowers, respectively) so restraining the probability of encounters. Our results indicate that the system C. blandus–Anthonomus–B. malifolia is not stable, as ants receive extrafloral nectar, but are unable to protect the plant against weevils. 相似文献
