Summary:
Though
you might not think of ants as formidable bodyguards, some do an impressive job
protecting plants from enemies. Examing the relationship between the Amazon

octoarticulatus, scientists found the degree to which the ants express two
genes significantly impacts the amount of protection they provide to their
hosts.
