“…Many ant species nest in the soil, inside chambers connected by tunnels, modifying the physical properties of this stratum, and resource availability to other organisms (Bagyaraj et al., 2016; Lavelle et al., 2006). Other species nest under flat rocks (Hölldobler & Wilson, 1994) or termite nests (Leponce, Roisin, & Pasteels, 1999), in tree trunks (Schütte, Queiroz, Mayhé-Nunes, & Pereira, 2007), around roots (Adams & Longino, 2007), in the canopy of living trees (Longino & Nadkarni, 1990; Schütte et al., 2007), or in other plant parts (Oliveira et al., 2015). However, ants may also occupy structures created by vertebrates (Hölldobler & Wilson, 1990) or invertebrates, such as gastropods (Jahyny, Lacau, Delabie, & Fresneau, 2007), termites (Leponce et al., 1999), and flies (Almeida, Santos, & Carneiro, 2014).…”
