Journal ArticleDOI
Ecology and behaviour of the weaver ant Camponotus (Myrmobrachys) senex
TL;DR: It is suggested that C. senex larvae could be considered an effective caste, valuable in nest construction, in Brazil and showed that the weaver larvae have a fundamental function in nest building.
Journal Article
The ant fauna in a cerrado area : The influence of vegetation structure and seasonality (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
TL;DR: The diversity of ants in a tropical savanna area, searching for differences according to environment variables (landscape and seasonality) is investigated, finding that the ant fauna in this area can be considered relatively rich.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host plant phenology may determine the abundance of an ecosystem engineering herbivore in a tropical savanna
TL;DR: Variation in plant phenology allows plants to escape from herbivory and environmental modifications induced by living organisms are characterised as ecosystem engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protection mutualism: an overview of ant-plant interactions mediated by extrafloral nectaries
TL;DR: It is shown how scientific and academic areas are working to improve the knowledge on protection mutualisms considering ant-plant ecological networks and how they can shape communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal Variation in the Abundance and Richness of Foliage-Dwelling Ants Mediated by Extrafloral Nectar
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the effect of EFN presence on a community of plant-visiting ants is context dependent, being conditioned to seasonal variation.
