Estequiometria ecológica ao longo de um gradiente borda-núcleo de floresta tropical úmida: Preferência de iscas por formigas da serrapilheira

Abstract

The ecological dynamics of the forest change the changes to the nucleus, thus, a resource of food resources provides the proteins to the communities of forms, is passive of changes in the function of the increase in the degree of disturbance of the environment. The effect of the implantation due to the deforestation of the forests in the change of plants and forms. The objective of this work was to test if the ants modify the foraging preference along the edge-core gradient of the forest in the Mata do Pau Ferro State Park in the city of Areia-PB. This is of the carbon of the hydrochloride (honey) and nitrogen (sardine) in 12 stations, included of random form and situated to different bandages from the border. Within the forest, the greater abundance of forms that nitrogen machines have, and declined towards navigation. The preference for carbohydrates increased with the edge of the forest, already in this environment, the number of aliases was similar in the two baits. What is it that, in the forest, the stoichiometric imbalance is introduced by the edge formation, modifies the foraging preference of the ants. The difference in resource concentration of a barrier function can be an interaction of the formicide communities, thus, those that contribute to ecosystems can be protected by forest borders and can be protected by the interior of the forest.
