Refuse attracts? Effect of refuse dumps of leaf-cutting ants on floral traits
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-13)
The nutrient-rich organic waste generated by ants may affect plant reproductive success directly by enhancing fruit production but also indirectly, by affecting floral traits related with pollinator attraction. Understanding ...
Moisture enhances the positive effect of leaf-cutting ant refuse dumps on soil biota activity
(Wiley, 2013-05)
Soil biota activity in arid lands is often limited by the availability of water and organic matter. We experimentally explored whether small changes in soil moisture affect the activity of soil biota in external refuse ...
Molecular analysis of bacteria associated with refuse dumps of Atta cephalotes (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).
(Universidad del ValleColombia, 2016-12-30)
The composition of bacteria associated with refuse dumps of Atta cephalotes ants living in captivity was investigated using molecular microbiology methods. Eight different bacterial strains were isolated using culturedependent ...
A recently established Kelp Gull colony in a freshwater environment supported by an inland refuse dump in Patagonia
(Csiro Publishing, 2012-05)
Populations of several species of gull are increasing worldwide as a result of a plentiful supply of anthropogenic food in urbanised environments. In light of this, we decided to examine the importance of anthropogenic ...
Reciclagem: a sensibilização na escola

The present work is the result of a daily analysis, where garbage has become a serious environmental problem, especially in the beaches that are places of free access. As a result, users often do not find throw the garbage, ...
Cellulose-Enriched Microbial Communities from Leaf-Cutter Ant (Atta colombica) Refuse Dumps Vary in Taxonomic Composition and Degradation Ability
(2016-03-21)
Deconstruction of the cellulose in plant cell walls is critical for carbon flow through ecosystems and for the production of sustainable cellulosic biofuels. Our understanding of cellulose deconstruction is largely limited ...
