| 説明 | Azteca ants guarding green coffee scale insects. The scale insects are the brownish-green ovals attached to the coffee leaves and stems. Azteca ants enjoy a mutualistic relationship with the green coffee scale, which is a coffee pest. The ants protect the scale insects from predators and parasites and in return collect honeydew, a sweet, sticky liquid secreted by the green coffee scale. The behavior of ants and beetles is further described in an Ecology and Evolution journal article, co-authored by SNRE Professor Ivette Perfecto.Read more: snre.umich.edu/news/08-15-2012/predatory_beetles_eavesdrop_on_ants_chemical_conversations_to_find_best_egglayingPhoto by Ivette Perfecto |
