摘要
Throughout the range of I. pandurata in North and South Carolina (USA), ants and wasps are attracted to the pedicellar extrafloral nectaries. These hymenopterans are aggressive toward phytophagous insects that visit the plants. Protection of the plant is afforded by these pugnacious hymenopteran nectar feeders.
