What factors influence the richness of ant species in litter: frequency or plant richness?
The set of decomposing organic material in the soil of terrestrial ecosystems, related to environmental factors, such as temperature and humidity, provide a favorable environment that shelters more than half of the known ant species. Thus, the species richness of the ants in the litter was evaluated...
