Mutualism of an aphid generation living with the ants <em>Prenolepis nitens</em> and <em>Lasius brunneus</em> (Latreille, 1798) is discussed in reference to the possible development of an overwintering parthenogenetic population of the aphid, persisting on the roots of its secondary host, <em>Picea abies</em>, due to coevolution of the aphid with ants.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Entomologica Fennica}, author={Purkart, Adrián and Morawski, Miłosz and Masłowski, Adrian and Depa, Łukasz}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={179–185} }
