Abstract
This study investigated the twig-nesting ants of native forest and eucalyptus plantations in southeast of Brazil. The diversity of twig-nesting ants was greater on native forest than on eucalyptus plantations. Native forest had a greater diversity of twig types, mainly of those used by ants. Overall ant richness was 12 species in native forest and 4 species in eucalyptus plantations. The characteristics of litter and microclimatic conditions may be responsible for the different ant fauna found on both vegetation types.
