Extensive studies in the surrounding forest by the authors confirmed that epiphytes occur only occasionally on ant and termite substrate other than ant gardens.
We documented the level of ant herbivory in treefall gaps and the surrounding forest understorey in old-growth and secondary forests.
Why are leaf-cutting ants more common in early secondary forests than in old-growth tropical forests?
These ants were found to be less inclined to transport bait particles than their larger nestmates.
During the day, some ants regularly walked all over inflorescence at all stages and even entered inside open spathes.
Mistakes are rare, since only in one case, were two wasp larvae (both first stage) found in a single ant.
