Collection of aphid honeydew on aluminum foil substrates followed by LC-MS/MS analysis to quantify sugar and amino acid composition as indicators of plant quality and ant-aphid mutualism benefits.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.
Steps below were extracted from the paper that introduces this protocol — Early snowmelt reduces aphid abundance <i>Aphis asclepiadis</i> by creating water stressed host plants <i>Ligusticum porteri</i> and altering interactions with ants (2020), Arthropod-Plant Interactions. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.
