ATLANTIC ANTS: a data set of ants in Atlantic Forests of South America [PDF]
Ecology, 2021 AbstractAnts, an ecologically successful and numerically dominant group of animals, play key ecological roles as soil engineers, predators, nutrient recyclers, and regulators of plant growth and reproduction in most terrestrial ecosystems. Further, ants are widely used as bioindicators of the ecological impact of land use.
