| Summary: | <p dir="ltr">In the general context where tropical rainforest ants are species rich, abundant and generally ecologically dominant, we focus this study on an Amazonian rainforest looking for species on the ground and in the leaf-litter, on understory plants and in the canopy. Using only two sampling techniques, Winkler extraction for ground-dwelling ants and direct observations for understory and canopy species, we identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera (Chao1 = 607 species, CI95% 566-670) over ≈3.0 ha.</p> |
