Effects of land‐use changes on ecosystem services: decrease in ant predation in human‐dominated landscapes in central Brazil

2017-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Anthropogenic disturbances often affect the abundance and diversity of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) but relatively few studies have explored the implications of such changes on the ecosystem services mediated by these insects. Here, we evaluated how the transformation of Cerrado savanna habitats into crop plantations affects the abundance, diversity, and the predatory activity of ants. A survey of the ant faunas...
