“…See Table 2 for results of the ANOVA of post-treatment observations Sevathian 2005) and it occurs as rare, scattered individuals on Ile aux Aigrettes (L. Lach, personal observation). Many species of invasive ants are attracted to EFNs and subsequently displace herbivores (Lach and Hooper-Bùi 2010;Ness and Bronstein 2004).…”

“…For example, out of 40 randomly selected 'critically endangered' Gastonia mauritiana (Araleaceae) and Diospyros eggretarum (Ebenaceae) trees on the island, there were only 1 and 3, respectively, in which we did not find scale insects (L. Lach unpublished data). Tending of trophobionts by invasive ants often results in increased abundance of these insects, in many cases with subsequent negative effects for the plant (Lach and Hooper-Bùi 2010;O'Dowd et al 2003). However, ants may benefit plants if they deter other more harmful herbivores (Styrsky and Eubanks 2007).…”

“…Assim, os resultados obtidos relacionando a mirmecofauna com o desenvolvimento florestal serão abordados como relacionados também à recuperação dos processos ecológicos florestais, haja vista que a comunidade de formigas media muitos desses processos ou, ao menos, é influenciada por eles (Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990;Andersen, 1997;Philpott et al, 2010;Lach & Hooper-Búi, 2010;Hoffman, 2010;Ribas et al, 2012).…”

“…Esse grupo megadiverso está presente em praticamente todos os locais do mundo, em alta abundância e participam direta ou indiretamente de muitos processos ecológicos (Taylor, 2010;Dunn et al, 2010). A movimentação vertical de sedimentos e nutrientes nas camadas do solo, o aumento da aeração do solo através de galerias, o controle populacional de outros organismos viventes no solo e a dispersão de sementes e de micro-organismos são exemplos de interações ecológicas mediadas direta ou indiretamente por formigas (Schultz & McGlynn, 2000;Lach & Hooper-Búi, 2010). Portanto, muitos dos processos ecológicos presentes nos ecossistemas florestais estão relacionados à mirmecofauna.…”
