V. B.  aAnt fauna in central Amazonian polyculture systems and forests.  aIn: GERMAN-BRAZILIAN WORKSHOP ON NEOTROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS, 2000, Hamburg. Programa and abstracts... Hamburg: Universityc2000  ap. 152  aBetween July 1997 and March 1999 ants of soil and litter were taken evey three months with core samplers (21 cm ø) in a primary rain fores, a secondary forest and two different systems of polycultures in central Amazonia (Manaus-AM-Brasil) and extracted in Berlese funnels. The collected ats were classified to generic level. Most frequent in all areas were ants of the genera Solenopsis (subfam. Myrmicinae) and Hypoponera (subfam. Ponerinae). the predatory species of Hypoponera represented the biggest part of ant biomass in all areas (20% - 33%), whereas the very abundant mostrly tiny species (&lt2 mm) of Solenopsis made up only 1,4% - 3,9% of the ant biomass. The biology of these species tiny species is poorly known.  aagroforestry  amultiple cropping  asoil conservation  atropical rain forests  aConservação do Solo  aCultivo Multiplo  aFloresta Tropical Úmida  aFormiga  aAgrofloresta  aAmazonas  aAnts  aBrasil  aManaus1 aVERHAAGH, M.1 aMARTIUS, C.
