Article Synopsis
  • * It was found that as leaf surface temperatures increased, the diversity and resilience of the ant species interacting with the plants decreased, while the size of EFNs did not significantly influence this.
  • * The results suggest that rising global temperatures could make these ant-plant mutualisms more vulnerable, highlighting the importance of understanding species interactions in the context of climate change.

Plants suffer recurrent cycles of water deficit in semiarid regions and have several mechanisms to tolerate low water availability. Thus, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can alleviate deleterious effects of stress. In this study, Cynophalla flexuosa plants, a woody evergreen species from semiarid, when associated with AMF were exposed to two consecutive cycles of water deficit.
