In an African savanna, we assessed whether acacia ants influence nest site selection by tree-nesting birds. Birds selected nest sites in trees inhabited by ant species that vigorously defend against browsing mammals. Future research could address the extent to which hatching and fledging rates depend on the species of ant symbiont, and why ants tolerate nesting birds but not other tree associates (especially insects).14aCREMATOGASTER SPP.14aGRAY-CAPPED SOCIAL WEAVER (PSEUDONIGRITA ARNAUDI)14aGRAY-HEADED SPARROW (PASSER GRISEUS)14aKENYA14aPLANT-ANT MUTUALISMS14aSUPERB STARLING (LAMPROTORNIS SUPERBUS)14aSYMBIOSES14aTETRAPONERA PENZIGI12aLujan, E.12aNielsen, R.12aShort, Z.12aWicks, S.12aWatetu, W.
