Entomologist/Ecologist. I'm interested in Plant-Animal Interactions and their relationship with the environment.

@PlanetFitness, disappointed with your cancellation process! Tried canceling in time but was charged an annual fee for both me and my wife. No refunds or proper support offered. #Unfair #CustomerService

Revisiting ant-plant-pollinator interactions: plant fitness depends on mutualist identity. - it is a study to show that natural history is important.

Our new paper on Plants!
Emerging Trends in Ant–Pollinator Conflict in Extrafloral Nectary-Bearing Plants.
Our review also provides important details about a potential synergism of EFN functionality.

Here we tested how the identity of mutualist partners (ants and floral visitors) of an EFN-bearing plant can determine for plant fitness.

Species are mutualistic if the benefits of interaction outweigh the costs. Here, the presence of ants on flowers was found to deter potential pollinators, affecting plant fitness to varying degrees depending on ant identity!

@xMoreira2 @Oikos_Journal @Gab_Quiroga @mbg_csic @BCastagneyrol Congrats. Well done.

Our results illuminate the dynamics of the induced response and the underlying mechanisms that might mediate it, ultimately providing new insights into defense strategies employed by plants. @EduCalixtos @CNPq_Oficial @CAPES_Oficial @PesquisaFapesp https://t.co/vj2aOBPS7T

I am pleased to share our most recent paper published today. This review is based on my postdoctoral proposal, which was drafted back in 2018 during my PhD exchange program with Prof. Robert Marquis at the University of Missouri, St. Louis. (1/8)

[Eduardo Calixto @EduCalixtos]

@evacolberg Muito obrigado Eva. Yes, this can extend for other mutualistic interactions between ants and plants.

[Eduardo Calixto @EduCalixtos]

Finally, we argue that generalizations regarding how ants impact plants should be made with caution since ants’ effects on plants vary with the identity of the ant species in their overall net outcome. (8/8)
