Resident Azteca ants, the commonest Cecropia symbionts, typically defend their host trees against herbivory and overgrowth by vines (Janzen 1969, Schupp 1986, Rocha and Bergallo 1992). Cecropia trees, in turn, provide resident ants with shelter within their trunks and with food in the form of nutrient-rich Müllerian bodies on the base of the petioles and pearl bodies on the undersides of the leaves (Rickson 1971). Resident ants also often gain additional nutrition through feeding on honeydew produced by homopterans which the ants tend within the Cecropia trunk (Belt 1874, Wheeler 1942).
