Litterfall ant genus and abundance in a fertiliser experiment area in Central Amazon, 2018-2019

Data are presented showing litterfall ant species and abundance from a plot based fertilisation experiment. The experiment was carried out at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) approximately 100 km north of Manaus. Data were collected in October 2018 and September 2019 by Santos-Neto. Sampling was carried out using a Wrinkler extractor. The data were collected to investigate the possible effects of different fertiliser applications on litterfall ant species and abundance. The work was carried out as part of the Amazon Fertilization Experiment (AFEX), funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), Award reference NE/L007223/1, by the Brazilian government (Researcher scholarship) and the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP - logistical support and camps maintenance).

Statement
Ant sampling was carried out in five 1x1 m sub-plots collected inside the 50 x 50 m plots, totaling 20 sub-plots per treatment and 160 in total. Ant samples were collected with a Winkler extractor. The litter was sampled and placed in a Winkler sacks. The material from the collection bag was placed in the Winkler extractor for a period of 48 hours. The ants were collected in a pot containing 90% alcohol as a fixative liquid. Identification and abundance was carried for each of the collection bags. Results were recorded onto field sheets and entered into an Excel spreadsheet. Data where exported as comma separated file for deposit into the EIDC.
