Mutualism between Whistling Thorn Trees and Native Ants
This chapter discusses a study on the mutualistic relationship between whistling thorn trees and native acacia ants. It explores how an invasive ant species disrupts this mutualism, leading to an increased vulnerability of the trees to elephant damage. The chapter also examines the cascading effects on lions and their primary prey, zebras.
