Foliar uptake of nitrogen from ant faecal droplets: An overlooked service to ant-plants

1. Nutrient supplies to plants from ants are well known from specialised myrmecophytic symbioses and from plants growing in soil close to ant nests. However, above-ground nutrient pathways may play a largely unrecognised role also in less specialised ant-plant interactions—the numerous facultative r...
