The article "Edge effect on ant-plant interactions mediated by extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) in a forest fragment located in the Southwest of the Brazilian Amazon" analyzes the abundance and frequency of ant species attracted to extrafloral nectaries in a forest fragment in the Brazilian Amazon. The study was conducted at the Catuaba Experimental Farm in Acre, Brazil, and identified several ant species present at the edge and inside the forest fragment. Some of the identified species include Azteca sp1, Dolichoderus bispinosus, Ectatomma tuberculatum, and Camponotus crassus. The study highlights the importance of the edge effect on the interaction between ants and plants. [Extracted from the article]
