Countries Occupied
Number of countries occupied by this species based on AntWiki Regional Taxon Lists. In general, fewer countries occupied indicates a narrower range, while more countries indicates a more widespread species. |
Estimated Abundance
Relative abundance based on number of AntMaps records per species (this species within the purple bar). Fewer records (to the left) indicates a less abundant/encountered species while more records (to the right) indicates more abundant/encountered species. |
Biology
Fungi
This species is a host for the fungus Ophiocordyceps camponoti-melanotici (a pathogen) in Brazil (Araujo et al., 2018; Evans et al., 2011; Shrestha et al., 2017).
