Ants аnd treehоppers (smаll, herbivоrоus insects) аre often found living on the same plants. Treehoppers feed on sugary plant sap and excrete excess sugar, which ants collect and eat. A scientist measured the reproductive success of the treehoppers by recording how many young treehoppers were alive on plants. Some of the plants lacked ants; other plants were populated by ants throughout the experiment. The results are presented in the graph below. plants with ants and plants without ants. The vertical axis is labeled "Number of young treehoppers per plant" and ranges from 0 to 90. The horizontal axis shows dates from 01-Jul through 19-Aug. Two lines are plotted on the graph. The line for plants without ants is shown with black square markers and remains relatively flat, starting at approximately 40 treehoppers on 01-Jul and maintaining similar values around 40 through 22-Jul, then gradually declining to approximately 30 by 19-Aug. The line for plants with ants is shown with gray diamond markers and also starts at approximately 40 treehoppers on 01-Jul. This line remains flat at around 40 through 22-Jul, then increases sharply to approximately 60 on 29-Jul, rises further to approximately 80 on 05-Aug, peaks at approximately 82 on 12-Aug, and then declines to approximately 68 on 19-Aug. The two lines overlap during the first four time points, then diverge dramatically after 22-Jul, with the plants with ants showing much higher treehopper populations than plants without ants. Based on these results, what type of species interaction is most likely occurring between the ants and the treehoppers?
