Relação entre diferentes espécies de formigas e a mirmecófita Cordia nodosa Lamarck (Boraginaceae) em áreas de mata ripária na Amazônia mato-grossense

Abstract: Resumo os benefícios obtidos por um organismo em uma associação mutualística podem variar em função de fatores ambientais, bem como entre as diferentes espécies que podem estar associadas. neste trabalho demonstramos que quatro espécies de formigas, Crematogaster brasiliensis, Allomerus octoarticulatus e duas não identificadas do gênero Azteca podem ser encontradas associadas à mirmecófita Cordia nodosa em florestas ripárias sul-amazônicas. essa composição de espécies de formigas é mais similar a encontrada na… Show more

“…C. laurecea and C. leucocephala are species endemic to Northeast Brazil and are widely cultivated for ornamental purposes (Machado et al, 2010;Milet-Pinheiro and Schlindwein, 2010). C. macleodii and C. nodosa have a wide distribution in tropical America (Izzo and PetInI-BenellI, 2011). C. sinensis, C. superba and C. thaisiana are found in the drier areas of India, Africa and Saudi Arabia (Al-Musayeib et al, 2011;Araque et al, 2009).…”

“…During the rainy season the increase in ant abundance and richness was not related to the herbivory reduction, however, the plants presented lower herbivory index and lower herbivore abundance and richness, lower herbivory occurrence and lower Herbivore abundance and richness may be more related to the chemical defenses of the plant. In addition, some studies have shown that these associations between plants and ants are fragile and susceptible to species "cheaters" which divert the benefits of interactions only to one side (Izzo and Vasconcelos, 2002;Izzo and Peneti-Benelli, 2011).…”
