  • The Role of Ants and Mammalian Herbivores on the Structure and Composition of Insect Communities Found on Canopies of Acacia Drepanolobium

K. Kuria 1* and M. H. Villet 2 1Department of Biological Sciences, Walter Sisulu University, P/B X1 Mthatha 5117, South Africa. 2Department of Zoology and Entomology, Rhodes University, Grahamstown 6140, South Africa. Accepted 4 June, 2012 Acacia drepanolobium Sjøstedt (Fabaceae) constitutes about 99% of the woody vegetation in the cotton soil ecosystem of Laikipia, Kenya. The tree has symbiotic association with four ant species that discourage large mammalian herbivores from feeding on it. However, there is no information as to whether these ants affect the community of canopy insects. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of the four ant species and differential vertebrate grazing and browsing pressures on the insect community inhabiting canopies of A. drepanolobium trees. Insect samples were collected using standard fogging and beating methods and identified to family and morphospecies. At the morphospecies level, the insect communities separated into two distinct groups, one comprised of samples collected from trees occupied by Crematogaster mimosae and Crematogaster nigriceps , and the other of samples obtained from trees inhabited by C. sjostedti and Tetraponera penzigi . However, differential vertebrate grazing and browsing patterns did not show any significant effect on the insect community occupying canopies of A. drepanolobium . Key words: Community structure, coexistence, diversity, herbivory, Mpala, Kenya.

Bacterial endosymbionts are common across insects, but we often lack a deeper knowledge of their prevalence across most organisms. Next-generation sequencing approaches can characterize bacterial diversity associated with a host and at the same time facilitate the fast and simultaneous screening of infectious bacteria. In this study, we used 16S rRNA tag encoded amplicon pyrosequencing to survey bacterial communities of 310 samples representing 221 individuals, 176 colonies and 95 species of ants. We found three distinct endosymbiont groups—Wolbachia (Alphaproteobacteria: Rickettsiales), Spiroplasma (Firmicutes: Entomoplasmatales),

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Naomi E. Pierce John Boyle Causes and consequences of coexistence in the Vachellia drepanolobium ant-plant mutualism Abstract This thesis focuses on a mutualism between the East African acacia tree Vachellia drepanolobium and the species of canopy-dwelling ants that inhabit it. The tree provides the ants with nesting space in the canopy and extrafloral nectar, and in return the ants defend the tree from herbivores. Several different ant species compete vigorously with each other for this canopy nesting space. Despite this, coexistence is maintained among those species at fine spatial scales, apparently by a colonization-competition tradeoff: ant species that are the best at colonizing unoccupied trees are the worst at defending those trees from neighboring competitors, and vice versa.

  • Ant-​Plant Mutualism: Ant-​Acacia Interactions in African Savannas
    20 10 Integrating Ecological Complexity into Our Understanding of Ant- Plant Mutualism: Ant- Acacia Interactions in African Savannas Todd M. Palmer and Truman P. Young* Introduction Ant- plant protection mutualisms, and mutualisms more broadly, are typically defined as “+ / +” interactions, indicating that species on each side of the interac- tion have a positive effect on the per capita growth rate of their partner. But that simple representation belies potentially great complexity: each “+” sign represents the net effects of the interaction’s costs and benefits on the lifetime fitness of par- ticipants, and these costs and benefits may shift both spatially and temporally with environmental conditions, with variation in the guild of mutualist partners, and with variation in the community of interacting species outside of the mutualism. As these conditions change, so too may the strength of mutualism, with consequences that can strongly influence the communities in which these interactions are embed- ded. To understand mutualism, therefore, requires moving beyond traditional pair- wise approaches (Stanton, 2003), and accounting for both the complexity inherent in mutualist networks and the ways in which the surrounding environment affects these interactions. Doing this accounting correctly is important: our entire under- standing of mutualism, from the evolution of traits and behaviors to the stability of mutualism itself, is predicated on understanding how these interactions integrate to influence the lifetime fitness of the participants. To illustrate the complexity of mutualism, and to provide examples of how this complexity may affect its ecological and evolutionary dynamics, in this chapter we review ant- acacia interactions within the savannas and bushlands of East Africa.

  • A Role for Indirect Facilitation in Maintaining Diversity in a Guild of African Acacia Ants

Determining how competing species coexist is essential to understanding patterns of biodiversity. Indirect facilitation, in which a competitively dominant species exerts a positive effect on one competitor by more strongly suppressing a third, shared competitor, is a potentially potent yet understudied mechanism for competitive coexistence. Here we provide evidence for indirect facilitation in a guild of four African Acacia ant species that compete for nesting space on the host plant Acacia drepanolobium, showing that a competitively dominant acacia ant species indirectly creates establishment opportunities for the most subordinate species that may help to maintain diversity. Using long-term observational data and field experiments, we demonstrate that the competitively dominant ant species outcompetes two competitively intermediate species, while tolerating colonies of the subordinate competitor; this creates opportunities for local colonization and establishment of colonies of the subordinate species within the dominant species’ territories.

Some studies also show evidence of extended trophic cascades, in which guilds dependent on lower trophic levels, but uninvolved in the trophic cascade themselves, Keywords: Extended trophic cascade; floral visitor; are affected by the trophic cascade due to their dependence on lower trophic levels. Top-down flowers; large mammals; pollinators; trophic effects of large mammals on plants could lead to a variety of extended trophic cascades on the cascade; top-down effects; trophic ricochet many guilds dependent on plants, such as pollinators.

The “demographic bottleneck” 4 hypothesis suggests that such filters ultimately restrict tree density and prevent trees from 5 dominating grasses in savannas, but many of the demographic transitions underlying this 6 assumption have not been quantified.
