the leaf eaters are afraid of the ants, so the leaf eaters can only eat when the ants are off the leaves. This is how ants protect the trees from the leaf eaters.
Ants climb trees to search for food, build nests, and protect their colonies from predators.
If the ants were removed from the acacia tree the trees would be stripped of their leaves by elephants. The ants serve as a defense mechanism for the trees.
forests( trees) plants breathe carbonmanoxid and put off oxygen,which helps to protect the p;ants ozon layer.In turn this helps to balance our weather .
A myrmecophyte is a plant that has a symbiotic relationship with ants. These plants provide shelter and food for the ants, while the ants protect the plant from herbivores and clear away competing plants.
Good question.Ants helps plants or trees and in return the tress or plants helps them.The process is called Myrmecophily where ants take their abode or shelter on some tress like mango,jamon etc.These ants take parts in destruction of enemy acting as a troop guards.In lie of defense,the plants or tress provide food and shelter to these plants.
Because ants treat aphids as cows - protect them from predators, graze them on plants and milk them for a sweet liquid.
Predators are less likely to eat ants that live in acacia trees because these ants have a mutualistic relationship with the tree, which provides them with shelter and food in the form of nectar and protein-rich Beltian bodies. In return, the ants protect the acacia from herbivores and competing plants. Additionally, the aggressive behavior of these ants, along with their ability to deliver painful stings, deters potential predators from attacking them. This mutualism creates a protective environment for the ants, making them less vulnerable to predation.
yes ants "does" use defenses to protect "themselfs"
Every ants lives in trees cause ants gets food and carry them up to the tree or somewhere else maybe.
Some species of trees have natural nests at the bottom of their stems for army ants. The ants protect the tree and give it their dung. The tree gives them sap and a house in return
Ants protect aphids and lady bugs want to eat them.
