Ant rarity and vulnerability in Brazilian Atlantic Forest fragments
The rarity of organisms is related either to a natural origin or human-induced impacts, and
rare species are more susceptible to extinction. The Atlantic Forest is an endangered biome …

Cohabitation and niche overlap in the occupation of twigs by arthropods in the leaf litter of Brazilian Atlantic Forest
In tropical forests, twigs are the nesting resources most frequently occupied by ants in the
leaf litter. During occupation, this resource may be shared among different arthropods, such …

Occupation of twigs by ants in the leaf litter: is there a relationship between the morphology of the castes and the entrance hole?
NS Silva, RPS Almeida, J Andrade-Silva… - Insectes Sociaux, 2024 - Springer
Fallen twigs on forest floors are an important nesting resource for ants. Despite their
abundance in the leaf litter, these twigs are not always colonized, since various attributes …
