Mutualistic Interaction Between Mealy Bugs And Ants Towards The Development Of A Novel Sugar Ant Bait

Mealy bugs are important honeydew producers, and many have developed mutualistic interaction with ants. Honeydew appears to be attractive to many ant species and it supplies constant carbohydrates to meet ant vast metabolic requirement. The exploration of the mutualistic interactions and the honeyde...
