- Birds and ants provide complementary seed dispersal in a neotropical savanna (2010, unknown): “…Silberbauer-Gottsberger 1983), current evidence suggests that ants remove great numbers of fallen fruits and seeds from beneath fleshy fruited plants (Leal & Oliveira 1998, 2000; Christianini, Mayhé-Nunes & Oliveira 2007) and may ultimately affect plant recruitment (Christianini & Oliveira 2009).”

- Forage collection, substrate preparation, and diet composition in fungus‐growing ants (2010, background): “However, Cyphomyrmex, Apterostigma, and Trachymyrmex are among the most species rich and geographically widespread genera of attine ants (Wheeler, 1907; Weber, 1972).”
- Interactions between ants, fruits and seeds in a restinga forest in south-eastern Brazil (2003, background): “…important seed vectors in the Atlantic coastal forests (Passos & Oliveira 2002, Pizo & Oliveira 2000, 2001), they may affect seed biology in other tropical forests (Dalling & Wirth 1999, Farji-Brener & Medina 2000, Moutinho 1998) and savannas (Farji-Brener & Silva 1996, Leal & Oliveira 1998, 2000).”
- Natural history and phylogeny of the fungus-farming ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae: Attini) (2010, background): “Arthropod corpses are also frequently reported as substrate items (e.g., WEBER 1945, WEBER 1972, LEAL & OLIVEIRA 2000), and, although they may indeed be used for this purpose, there is reason to be cautious about interpreting their function for a number of reasons.”
