Acacia-ant symbiosis is the interaction between myrmecophilous ''Vachellia'' trees (ant acacias) and ants that nest on them (acacia ants). Obligate acacia ants dwell in the gall-like domatia within the swollen stipular spines of African or Central American ant acacia species, and they also take the food (nectar or Beltian bodies) offered by the tree. Some of them protect ant acacias from herbivores in return, hence mutualism; the others provide inadequate protection or none at all, hence weaker or non-mutualism. Facultative (non-obligate) acacia ants often nest on stems instead of in gall-like domatia, and tend to be non-mutualistic. Africa Four acacia ant species are symbiotic with '' Vachellia drepanolobium'': '' Crematogaster mimosae'', '' C. nigriceps'', and '' Tetraponera penzigi'' are obligate and mustualistic symbionts, whereas '' C. sjostedti'' is facultative and the least mustualistic, and it even facilitates attack on the tree by beetles.
