Fidelity and Promiscuity in an Ant-Plant Mutualism: A Case Study of Triplaris and Pseudomyrmex
Fig 5
Range of distribution for Triplaris (A) and Pseudomyrmex triplarinus subgroup (B) as predicted by DIVA-GIS.
A. The circles represent the 1876 collections of Triplaris; B. Triangles indicate the distribution of the 739 collections of the obligate Pseudomyrmex. In both maps, warmer colors (i.e. orange and red) indicate the areas where the climatic conditions are most suitable for the occurrence of both organisms. Grey areas indicate unsuitable climatic conditions.
