Exploitative Competition and Risk of Parasitism in Two Host Ant Species: The Roles of Habitat Complexity, Body Size, and Behavioral Dominance

<table>Number of (a)  <i>P. diversipilosa</i> and (b)  <i>P. bicarinata</i> soldiers harvesting resources in the absence of head-to-head competition when parasitoids are absent (<i>circles</i>) or present (<i>triangles</i>) in complex habitat (<i>filled symbols</i>) or simple habitat (<i>empty symbols</i>). Means and Tukey’s minimum significant difference (MSD) comparison intervals are presented. Means whose comparison intervals overlap are not significantly different. Means whose comparison intervals do not overlap are significantly different at an experiment-wide <i>α</i> of 0.05.</table>
