How has/will human activities in the Amazon regions affect the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants?
There are many different human activites in the Amazon regions that will affect the Allomerus decemarticulatus ants, for exmaple, deforestation is one of them. When we carry out deforestation, one direct implication of the activity is the loss of habitat for the ants, a second indirect implication is the loss in the ability to capture preys, because the ants rely on the trees for traps on their preys, the loss of trees means the loss of prey, hence tremendously decresing its ability to capture preys.
