| 中文摘要 | Ant-hemipteran mutualism has a variety of ecological effects on the host plants, but the magnitude and moderators of those effects are poorly known. We evaluated this issue by conducting a meta-analysis based on 49 published studies. Results showed that the mutualism had significant protective effects on the host plans, although those effects did not lead to enhanced plant growth or reproductive performance. Both herbivores and predators on plants were strongly suppressed by the mutualism; a similar pattern was also detected for fruit removal. The ecological effects of the mutualism tended to be more consistent and stronger in tropical and subtropical regions, whereas in temperate regions, none of the tested variables was significantly affected by the mutualism. The protective effects of the mutualism on plants were independent of plant life form and the invasiveness of ants. The effect of the mutualism on predators varied with plant life form. The study confirmed that the ant-hemipteran mutualism has a wide range of ecological influences on plants and highlights the significance of a common and wide-spread mutualism. |
