“…Many of these interactions occur at the same time and in the same place, but it is not known how they are structured, nor the factors that influence their organisation. Ants can have multiple roles when interacting with plants in an ecosystem (Del-Claro et al, 2018), as well as with other trophic levels such as predators (Mera-Velasco et al, 2010), parasitoids (Bañol et al, 2017) and other invertebrates (Anjos et al, 2019). Some studies show that ant-plant networks involving more than one food resource have a core with some ant species feeding on food rewards offered by plants, resulting in a generalised network (Costa et al, 2016;Fagundes et al, 2016).…”

1. In recent decades, the interest in complexity of ant-plant relationships has increased considerably. However, because the spatial and biological information generated on ant-plant interaction networks is dispersed in the literature it is necessary to synthesise current information, detect knowledge gaps, and outline needs for research leading to the development of a broad and systematic view on the subject.2. Here, we present a global synthesis of the scientific articles dealing with ant-plant interaction networks, through a quantitative scientometric analysis to establish the state of the art in this topic and to propose future perspectives.3. We gather 54 articles published between 2006 and 2020 in 32 different scientific journals, which were written by 132 different authors. The studies were conducted in 15 countries and 9 biomes (most of them (61%) were in tropical lowlands), but Brazil and Mexico represented 87% of the global scientific production. Although most studies are related to ant-plant interactions involving extrafloral nectaries (72%) usually in diurnal samplings, we also found other types of ant-plant relationships such as floral nectar, extrafloral nectar, sap, myrmecophyte, seed/fruit, foraging substrate, and nesting sites. Furthermore, most studies used a bipartite framework of ant-plant interaction mediated by only one type of resource, and researchers often reported a nested pattern of species interactions.4. Finally, we identify some regions, biotic interactions involving different types of resources, spatio-temporal scales, and research questions that need further research for a better understanding of the complexity ant-plant networks.

“…In shaded coffee plantations, the level of ant predation on other insects reaches 15%, while in coffee plantations without shade, it is only 6%. Several species of ants from the genera Temnothorax, Wasmannia, and Crematogaster are found to be predators of coffee berry borer (CBB) (Hypothenemus hampei Ferr) [5]. Other ant species, such as Azteca instabilis and Phedole synanthripica, have been known to reduce CBB damage on the plant [6].…”

Shade-grown coffee, incorporated in an agroforestry system, is a common practice of coffee plantations in Aceh Tengah Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. Coffee is grown under the shade of a canopy of surrounding trees. Shade trees reduce excessive light and provide a home for various predatory animals, including predatory ants. Some growers plant a dense population of shade trees, while others plant less shade trees. A study to investigate the diversity of ants and their abundance in different densities of shade trees has been conducted from April until August 2023. Ants were sampled from coffee trees (arboreal ants) in two coffee plantations with dense populations of shade trees and two plantations with sparse shade trees. We found 13 ant species in both categories of plantations (combined). All ant species were found in sparsely shaded coffee plantations, and only five were recorded from densely shaded plantations. However, the abundance of ants was much higher in densely shaded plantations than in sparsely shaded plantations. The ant genera Technomyrmex and Componatus were the dominant ants found in sparsely shaded plantations, while the dominant ants in densely shaded plantations were the genera Componatus and Crematogaster. These ants are known as general predators and potentially are predators of coffee berry borer (CBB), a significant pest in the area. This research has shown how different densities of shade trees in coffee plantations affected the ant fauna, which could be used as a basis for ant conservation to increase their ecosystem service as predators.

“…Los insectos parasitoides y algunos depredadores que se han encontrado dentro de los frutos brocados de café, tienen la habilidad de penetrar por el orificio de entrada que hace la broca en el fruto y buscar sus presas a través de las galerías y túneles. Entre los principales depredadores de los estados inmaduros de la broca del café reportados en Colombia están las hormigas Formicidae (Hymenoptera), principalmente con las especies Solenopsis picea y Crematogaster crinosa (Mera et al, 2010;Armbrechet & Perfecto, 2001;Constantino et al, 2022), Anthocoridae (Hemiptera) y Silvanidae (Coleoptera) (Vera et al, 2007;Bustillo et al, 2002;Mera et al, 2010;Kawabata et al, 2016;Brill et al, 2021). Dos especies de coleópteros de la familia Silvanidae, se han registrado dentro de las galerías y túneles en granos infestados de broca, siendo Cathartus quadricollis y Monanus sp.…”

Por su comportamiento, la broca del café es difícil de controlar debido a que su ciclo de vida transcurre dentro de los frutos de café. Una alternativa es el control biológico mediante el aumento de depredadores capaces de penetrar por los orificios de los frutos infestados en el campo. Se evaluaron los depredadores Cathartus quadricollis y Ahasverus advena en el campo. Las unidades de trabajo estuvieron conformadas por una planta de café en estado productivo, encerrada con jaula entomológica. En cada árbol se ubicaron 50 granos de café infestados con broca durante 20 días, colgados de una rama (para evaluarlo con ambas especies) o colocados sobre el suelo (para A. advena). Se tuvieron dos tratamientos y dos testigos, con 15 repeticiones. Se liberaron 150 adultos de cada especie de depredador, evaluando la población de broca y los frutos infestados en el árbol a los 50 días. El análisis de varianza al 5% mostró diferencias estadísticas entre tratamientos en el número de estados de broca vivos y los frutos infestados, para las dos especies de depredadores. La prueba de Dunett al 5% indicó que A. advena disminuyó hasta 70,1% la broca cuando se ubicó en la parte aérea del árbol y en un 76,4% cuando se colocaron en el suelo. Los adultos de C. quadricollis disminuyeron significativamente los frutos infestados en el árbol en un 50,1% cuando los granos se dispusieron en las ramas. Estos depredadores son especies potenciales dentro de una estrategia de manejo integrado de la broca del café.
