Comparison Between Ground Ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) Communities Foraging in the Straw Mulch of Sugarcane Crops and in the Leaf Litter of Neighboring Forests
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2017-02-01)
In many sugarcane plantations in Brazil, the straw is left on the soil after harvesting, and vinasse, a by- product of the production of sugar and ethanol, is used for fertigation. Our goal was to compare ant community ...
Fungal communities in the garden chamber soils of leaf-cutting ants
(2013-05-27)
Leaf-cutting ants modify the properties of the soil adjacent to their nests. Here, we examined whether such an ant-altered environment impacts the belowground fungal communities. Fungal diversity and community structure ...

Leaf-cutting ants modify the properties of the soil adjacent to their nests. Here, we examined whether such an ant-altered environment impacts the belowground fungal communities. Fungal diversity and community structure ...
Comparative analysis of fungal communities in colonies of two leaf-cutting ant species with different substratum preferences
(2016-06-01)
Fungus gardens of leaf-cutting ants harbor diverse alien fungi in addition to their fungal cultivar. Previous work suggested that alien microorganisms are likely derived from the substrata foraged by ant workers and ...
Ant community patterns in highly fragmented Chaco forests of central Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-04)
The Chaco is the largest dry forest biome in South America and one of the regions most threatened by agricultural intensification. As a consequence, in several areas Chaco forests persist as forest remnants of different ...
Nocturnal resource defence in aphid-tending ants of northern Patagonia
(Wiley, 2013-12)
Interspecific competition plays a key role in the organisation of ant communities. In ant–plant interactions, individual host plants are usually occupied by a single ant colony, and co-occurring ant species compete for ...
Ant-nest distribution in a remnant of tropical rainforest in southeastern Brazil

Diversity of Epigeal Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Urban Areas of Alto Tiete
(California State University, 2012-01-01)
The objective of this study was to conduct an inventory of the ant fauna, evaluating indicators of diversity, litter community composition and similarity among seven areas located around the city of Mogi das Cruzes (SP). ...
