Spiders and ants are among the main predators of herbivores in terrestrial trophic chains, and can indirectly benefit plants. Several plant species offer feeding resources and/or shelter to predators which provide protection against their natural enemies. The extrafloral nectar is a liquid feeding resource common in cerrado plants that attract ants and other arthropods, such as spiders for example. However, interactions between predators such as intraguild competition and predation can influence their ability to reduce herbivores and affect the final results of interactions with plants. The present study aimed to determine the impact of the spiders and ants fauna on herbivory and reproduction of Qualea multiflora (Vochysiaceae), a ...
