Episode LXV: Myrmecophytes (ants in our plants)

February 04, 2019

In this episode, we delve into the research of our very own Chad Tillberg.  He has studied the symbiosis between certain trees and ant species, called myrmecophytes, in Costa Rica.  These trees provide homes for ants and the ants protect them from other pests.
