1. Trade-off in plant-ant interactions: seasonal variations
Resumo Este trabalho avaliou o efeito da sazonalidade sobre a interação planta-formiga em uma Floresta Tropical Sazonal Seca, utilizando como modelo ecológico a espécie Ipomoea carnea subs. fistulosa (Convolvulaceae). Realizamos coleta sistemática de formigas, herbívoros e folhas em plantas marcadas, avaliamos a eficiência de captura de herbívoros pe

2. The effects of two abundant ant species on soil nutrients and seedling recruitment in Brazilian Atlantic Forest
ABSTRACT Ants can influence soil fertility and the spatial distribution of seeds, with possible effects on seedling recruitment. The ant species Pachycondyla striata Fr. Smith, 1858 and Odontomachus chelifer (Latreille, 1802) co-occur in many forest areas in the Neotropics. We assessed soil fertility and seed bank structure in soil samples close and distant

3. Efeitos de atributos ambientais na biodiversidade de formigas sob diferentes usos do solo
Resumo O objetivo foi avaliar a influência de variáveis ambientais sobre a fauna de formigas em um fragmento de floresta nativa e em áreas cultivadas. Os dados foram coletados no município de Seropédica - RJ, nas estações chuvosa e seca, em um cultivo de bananas (Musa pariadisiaca L.), uma agrofloresta, um cafezal (Coffea conephora Pierre) sombreado c

4. Streptococcus Colonial Growth of Dental Plaque Inhibition Using Flavonoid Extract of Ants Nest (Myrmecodia pendans): An in Vitro Study
Abstract Objective: To know the activity of resistance of flavonoid content in ant nest plant in decreasing the number of colonies S. mutans oral cavity of children as a medic herbal material. Material and Methods: The subjects were plaque sample of 20 children aged 7-12 years. Research begins by making toothpaste from ant nest extract. Samples of children

5. Ants Promote Germination of the Tree Guarea guidonia by Cleaning its Seeds
ABSTRACT Ants interact with seeds, and frequently remove their appendages. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of ants on the germination of Guarea guidonia (Meliaceae) seeds through removing the fleshy tissue of their integument (sarcotesta). The seeds were subjected to the following treatments: control (no sarcotesta removal), manual removal, and remova

6. Ant fauna associated with Microgramma squamulosa (Kaulf.) de la Sota (Polypodiaceae) fern galls
Abstract Galls are neoformed plant structures created by cell hyperplasia and hypertrophy induced by a number of organisms, especially insects. After adult insects hatch, senescent galls may remain on the host plant and be occupied by a succession of fauna, the most important and dominant being ants. This study aimed at characterizing the ant fauna successor

7. Richness and structure of ant assemblies (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Atlantic forest in southern Brazil
ABSTRACT Ant diversity is influenced by the structural complexity of the environment. Ants are thus an ecologically important group due to their potential to serve as indicators of environmental quality. The objective of this study was to evaluate ant diversity in areas with different land use histories and thus, within different stages of regeneration in th

8. New evidences supporting trophobiosis between populations of Edessa rufomarginata (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and Camponotus (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) ants
ABSTRACT Despite its important effect on the maintenance of tritrophic interactions among plants, insect herbivores, and ants, there is still a paucity of natural history and basic biology information involving trophobiosis among Heteroptera stink bugs. Here, based on previous observations of a new trophobiotic interaction between Edessa rufomarginata (De Ge

9. Técnicas de bioinformática aplicadas ao estudo de poligalacturonases de fungos
Plant cell walls are composed of approximately 65% cellulose microfibrils and pectin. The latter is proteolytically degraded by the so-called pectinases enzymes (also known as pectinolytic enzymes). Pectinases may be either depolymerizing. They are produced by plants, filamentous fungi, bacteria, and yeast. Due to the wide commercial use of pectinase, one ha

10. Evolução e ecologia de tricomas em Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): estruturas morfológicas de defesa anti-herbivoria? / Evolution and ecology of trichomes in Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae): morphological structures of anti-herbivory defense?
This thesis focused on the evolutionary-ecology of trichomes in the tribe Bignonieae (Bignoniaceae), and in the potential defensive role of these structures against herbivores. More specifically, we characterized four trichome morphotypes found in vegetative plant parts of representatives of the Bignonieae, as well as studied the macro-evolutionary patterns

11. Ilhas florestais, redes de interação formiga-planta e a conservação de processos ecológicos / Forest islands, ant-plant interactions, and the conservation of ecological processes
O mutualismo formiga-planta é uma característica importante da biodiversidade na Amazônia. Tal trajetória co-evolutiva gerou redes de interação fortemente compartimentadas, atualmente ameaçadas por alterações ambientais. A recente demanda brasileira por energia tem levado a construção de uma série de hidrelétricas que causam perda de habitat e f

12. Development of the mosaic of dominant arboreal ants and its importance to the biological control of insects associated with cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) / Desenvolvimento do mosaico de formigas arborícolas dominantes e sua importância no controle biológico natural dos insetos associados ao cacaueiro (Theobroma cacao L.)
Agroforests contribute to the survival of many native species. The cocoa plantations inserted in the Atlantic Forest biome in Southeast Bahia contribute to the conservation of a large amount of organisms, including ants. The evaluation of the ontogenetic succession of ants can help understanding the mosaic dynamics of the arboreal ants. Since this mosaic can
