Assessing the quality of different ant species as partners of a myrmecophilous butterfly

Abstract

Assessment of the quality of different ant species as partners of the facultatively myrmecophilous lycaenid butterfly Glaucopsyche lygdamus found that F. obscuripes may act as a parasite of the general association between G. lyg damus and ants under certain conditions.
