Abstract
Effect of Attractiveness of Protein and Glucose Baits in Estuarine Ant Communities in Southern Brazil
Highlights
Salt marshes are intertidal coastal ecosystems flooded irregularly by salt water, occupied by herbaceous vegetation and small shrubs [1]
We did the smallest catches in the Upper Estuary (K = 5.204; df = 2; P < 0.05)
Solenopsis invicta, Wasmannia auropunctata, Camponotus punctulatus, Linepithema humile and Pseudomyrmex phillophylus were representative along the salt marshes’ Estuary
Summary
Salt marshes are intertidal coastal ecosystems flooded irregularly by salt water, occupied by herbaceous vegetation and small shrubs [1]. These ecosystems occur in protected areas of estuaries, bays, and lagoons in tropical and subtropical regions. Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are the world’s most successful group of eusocial insects [7,8]. They are important predators of invertebrates in most ecosystems and are prominent herbivores in many Neotropical communities, including salt marshes [9,10,11]
