Abstract
The state of Pará in northern Brazil is located entirely within the Amazon Basin and harbors a great diversity of landscape
and vegetation types that support high levels of biodiversity. Here, we provide a comprehensive inventory of ant species
and their distribution in Pará. This regional list is based on an extensive review of species records from published and
unpublished sources covering a period of 134 years (1886–2020) and includes the five most representative ant collections
in Brazil. In total, we documented 12 subfamilies, 90 genera and 753 ant species, including 97 species recorded for the
first time in Pará and 12 species newly reported in Brazil. Sampling effort across the state is highly uneven, and most
records may be associated with research areas near the state capital, mining areas, hydroelectric dams, and research field
stations run by the state or universities. In addition, our results suggest a strong bias in ant collection in Pará in terms
of proximity of sampled sites to access routes, such as roads and rivers. We also found that species records were highly
unevenly distributed based on areas of endemism within the Amazon, vegetation type, and protected areas within the
state. Ant surveys are still lacking from most protected areas of Pará, and further sampling is urgently needed in view of
the current trend of expansion of major infrastructure projects and natural resource harvesting within protected areas of
Pará. Our database represents an extremely valuable and rich source of information for further studies on ant biodiversity
and conservation in the Amazon Basin.

Introduction
Located entirely within the Amazon Basin, the state of Pará has been considered a relevant historical and geographical
region in northern Brazil since its inception. Historically, it was one of the first Amazonian areas targeted by early
Portuguese settlers in 1616 (Silva & Silva 2008) and the site of important scientific expeditions by great naturalists,
such as Johann Baptist von Spix (1781–1826), Carl Friedrich Philip von Martius (1794–1868), Henry Walter Bates
(1825–1892), Alfred Russell Wallace (1823–1913), and Emilia Snethlage (1868–1929) (Vanzolini 2004; Lovejoy
2019).
From a geographical standpoint, it is the second largest Brazilian state, occupying 1,253,164.5 km2, and the
13th largest first-order administrative division in the world (Silva & Silva 2008; Moure et al. 2013). The state is
characterized by a great diversity of geological environments and vegetation cover types, such as dense ombrophilous
forests, open ombrophilous forests (which include periodically flooded forests, e.g., várzea and igapó), campinaranas
(endemic vegetation of Amazonia), cangas (herbs and shrubs associated with iron-rich conglomerates), savannas,

and pioneer vegetation (including sand bars and mangroves) (IBGE 2012), which support a high level of biodiversity.
Pará is also a gateway to and from the Amazon River through its connection to the Atlantic Ocean (Barros &
Pimentel 2001).
The state plays an important role in the economic development of the Amazon region. Historical and current
infrastructure projects have impacted local biodiversity. Examples include the construction of railroads from the
capital of Pará, Belém, to the coast; the construction of the Estrada Real road from Belém to the state of Maranhão;
a highway from Belém to the capital of Brazil, Brasília; the Trans-Amazonian Highway; and transmission power
lines, power plants, and mines (Laurance 1998; Laurance et al. 2001; Silva & Silva 2008). These projects are
the main contributors to habitat loss, affecting species richness and ecosystem resources through the removal of
pristine forest areas and increasing deforestation rates in the state of Pará, which has one of the highest rates in the
Amazon Basin (Vedovato et al. 2016). The latest report of National Institute for Space Research (INPE) on Amazon
deforestation rates shows an increase of 9.5% between August 2019 and July 2020, with Pará ranking first and
accounting for 46.8% of the accumulated deforestation recorded in the Legal Amazon (INPE 2020).
Over the last 50 years, a significant proportion of the ant samples collected in Pará came from Environmental
Impact Assessment studies (Prado et al. 2020). As legal repositories of Brazilian biodiversity, these official biological
collections include specimens from different regions, allowing not only an appreciation of the biodiversity from
irreversibly modified regions but also an evaluation of the environmental impact of human actions (Taddei et al.
1999; Vivo et al. 2014).
Recently, efforts have been made to study the diversity and distribution of ant species in the Amazon Basin;
in recent years, checklists have been published for French Guiana (Franco et al. 2019), for Amazonian Colombia
(Castro et al. 2018; Guerrero et al. 2018; Fernández et al. 2019), and for several Brazilian Amazon states (Miranda
et al. 2012; Fernandes & Souza 2018; Prado et al. 2019; Schmidt et al. 2020). However, no comprehensive checklist
integrating taxonomic validation has been published so far for the state of Pará, one of the largest areas in the
Amazon Basin.
In this paper, we gather information on ants recorded in Pará. To do this, we obtained data available from (i)
published and unpublished sources, (ii) online biodiversity databases, and (iii) ant specimens from Pará deposited in
the main ant collections in Brazil. We created the most detailed database of ant records and spatial data from eastern
Amazon to generate a list of ant species from Pará and describe sample coverage throughout the state. We highlight
priority areas for further studies to understand and advance the knowledge of the ant fauna in the Amazon Basin.
Materials and methods
Data Records. We compiled a dataset of ant species from Pará recorded in the literature from 1886 (the first record
in the literature of ants collected in Pará) to 2020. Most published data records were provided by the Global Ant
Biodiversity (GABI) project (Guénard et al. 2017), including data extracted from AntWeb (AntWeb 2020). Next,
we extracted geographical information from labels of specimens collected in Pará and deposited in one of the five
main Brazilian entomological collections, namely Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG); Coleção Entomológica
Padre Jesus Santiago Moure at Universidade Federal do Paraná (DZUP); Centro de Pesquisas do Cacau at Comissão
Executiva do Plano de Lavoura Cacaueira (CPDC); Museu de Zoologia at Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP); and
Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA). Thirdly, for the MPEG dataset, we retrieved records from the
Brazilian Biodiversity Information System (SiBBr), a national online biodiversity database (https://www.sibbr.gov.
br/). The SiBBr repository hosts and mirrors the information available from GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information
Facility; https://www.gbif.org). Lastly, material from recent surveys conducted by the authors in the state of Pará
were also used to update the database.
The full database contains a unique species record per row and columns displaying metadata, with variables as
defined on Dryad dataset (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.6djh911h).
Georeferencing. When available from the original source (specimen labels and/or published information),
coordinates were transformed to decimal degrees before analyses. We used WGS84 as datum (if entry datum was
not reported in specimen data). For records without coordinates, we georeferenced specimens using the GeoNames
geographical database (http://www.geonames.org/), Fallingrain: Maps and Weather (http://www.fallingrain.com/
index.html), and searches in Google Maps. Finally, we used personal databases of Pará localities from researchers
at MPEG (William L. Overal) and Instituto Tecnológico Vale (ITV; Tereza C. Giannini and Rafael C. Borges) to

determine the coordinates of some sites. In all cases, we kept a detailed description of the source of coordinates and
georeferenced data.
Taxonomic and Status Validation. Species identifications were validated by examining the specimen (directly
or using high-resolution images, whenever possible) and reviewing the tools used for species identification (for
literature data). In case of questionable records and new distribution records, experts were consulted to decide if the
records should be included or excluded. Data that could not be validated using the available tools were discarded.
Valid species names were assigned according to the Online Catalog of the Ants of the World (AntCat; Bolton 2021).
We included a column in the database labeled “Technical.Validation” (a binary variable that specifies whether to
keep or exclude records in the analyses) to represent identification errors. We only gathered information on formally
named species (morphospecies data were excluded from our dataset). The dataset is available in Unicode (UTF-8)
format on Dryad (https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.6djh911h).
Exotic Species. The classification of species as exotic in our list is based on the historical records of species that
had no previous occurrence in the state of Pará and that are reported as invasive in the myrmecological literature.
The monitoring of species status over time was based on the comparison of occurrence lists and taxonomic catalogs
with the recent literature obtained mainly through the Global Ant Biodiversity (GABI) project (Guénard et al. 2017).
In addition, we reported new occurrences of exotic species based on the material deposited in the ant collections
consulted for this study.
Analyses. The full database contains all specimen records, including multiple specimens of the same species
and same collection data, or multiple records for a species at the same site that differ in date, collector, or other label
data (for example, label code). We used ‘site-specific records’ to avoid duplicate records in analyses. We defined a
‘site’ as a unique coordinate (decimal degrees to 6 decimal places) in the dataset. A site-specific record was a unique
combination of a species and a site (i.e., collapsing all records that differed only in date, collector, or other label
details).
First, we characterized the distribution of ant records in the state of Pará by mapping records into four major
geographical categories: (1) areas of endemism in the Brazilian Amazon, (2) vegetation types, (3) protected areas,
and (4) access routes. Our goal was to describe (and not model) patterns of species richness and number of records
based on classification systems frequently adopted in analyses of biodiversity data from the Amazon Basin. Exotic
species were mapped, and total number of records and sites were determined; further, we analyzed their distribution
regarding access routes to describe the influence of roads and rivers on exotic species records. We followed Silva
et al. (2002) for areas of endemism in the Amazon Basin, a classification based on the confluence of the main
Amazonian rivers (Wallace 1854) that outlines the main biogeographic divisions of understory birds and primate
species diversity within the basin (Haffer 1969). To explore the entire database, we also added the Marajó region
as an area of endemism. Brazilian vegetation types were based on the classification of the Brazilian Institute of
Geography and Statistics (IBGE 2012), which extracts information from the most current data on native vegetation
cover in Brazil.
For protected areas (indigenous lands and conservation units), we obtained the distribution of municipal, state,
and national protected areas of Pará from the Brazilian Ministry for the Environment (MMA) (http://mapas.mma.
gov.br/i3geo/datadownload.htm). We also investigated whether distribution records were biased towards proximity
to access routes (roads and main rivers). Maps of access roads and rivers were obtained from MMA and Forest-Gis
(http://forest-gis.com/download-de-shapefiles/), respectively. We extracted the number of records observed within
1, 5, and 10 km buffers around roads and rivers in the state of Pará. We used these distances because we expected the
highest record density in the Amazon to be concentrated within this range of distances from access routes (Oliveira
et al. 2016).
We extracted the municipality (second-level administrative level) of Pará that included collections using the
package ‘brazilmaps’ (Siqueira 2017) in the R environment for statistical computing (R Core Team 2020 version
4.0.0). Maps depicting endemism areas, vegetation types, protected areas, and access routes were created using the
QGIS software (QGIS Development Team 2020).
We further explored the relationship between the number of records and the number of species recorded
over time. To do this, we used collection year as the collection unit of museum data or year of publication as the
collection unit of published sources. However, since for most records there are no unique identifiers available to
detect the overlap between specimen data from museums and from publications, these sources are not completely
independent. Similarly, our database does not separate primary records in the taxonomic literature (records from

specimens examined in the study) from secondary records (records published formally and reported again in a
following publication), which may inflate records over time in published literature.
Results
Our compilation of ant species from Pará generated an updated list of 21,646 ant records belonging to 12 subfamilies,
90 genera, and 771 species names, including 12 exotic species. We excluded, after taxonomic validation, 25 records
and 18 species from the analyses (see Table 1), resulting in a total of 753 valid species in Pará (see list of species).
All numbers provided hereafter in the text consider only the taxonomically validated records (N = 21,621).

For 1,336 records the only locality information was ‘state of Pará’ and thus they lacked within-state locality
data. For the remaining 20,285 records, we recorded ants from 101 municipalities and 775 unique coordinates
(based on 6 decimal places; Fig. 1A). In the database, 4,990 records did not originally include a second-order
administrative level, which was assigned based on the coordinates available from the labels (see Materials and
methods). In addition, there was a relatively high number of ant records without precise coordinates; 280 of the 775
unique coordinates (36%) were assigned by us.
In total, 97 species belonging to 8 subfamilies and 35 genera were recorded for the first time in Pará; of
these, 12 species were also new records for Brazil. In addition to species reported for the first time in Pará, our
database also includes species recorded for the first time in the Brazilian Amazon (e.g., Strumigenys sublonga
Brown, 1958). Our dataset covers both arboreal and ground-nesting species, as well as native and introduced ants.
Regarding conservation status, two species are classified as vulnerable (SISG, 1996) according to the IUCN Red
List of Threatened Species (IUCN 2020): Megalomyrmex symmetochus Wheeler, 1925 and Oxyepoecus inquilinus
(Kusnezov, 1952).
Among the 90 ant genera recorded, 19 genera had 10 or more species and subspecies found in the state of
Pará: Pheidole (68 species and subspecies), Camponotus (60), Pseudomyrmex (52), Strumigenys (43), Azteca (37),
Gnamptogenys (35), Cephalotes (29), Dolichoderus (29), Crematogaster (26), Neoponera (24), Neivamyrmex
(23), Acromyrmex (15), Odontomachus (14), Rogeria (14), Solenopsis (13), Eciton (11), Leptogenys (11), and
Megalomyrmex (11).

FIGuRE 1. Ant sampling distribution (localities) in the state of Pará by data source (A), area of endemism (B), vegetation type
(C), protected area (D), roads and rivers (E), and the distribution of exotic ants in 78 records (F). DF = Dense Ombrophilous
Forest; OF = Open Ombrophilous Forest; DcF = Seasonal Deciduous Forest; SF = Secondary Forest; PV = Pioneer Vegetation;
VR = Refúgio Vegetacional; Sv = Savanna.
The distribution of site-specific species records is highly skewed (Fig. 2; N = 6,056, excluding records without
spatial resolution). There were 546 species known from ten or fewer sites, or 71% of all species recorded in the
state of Pará. Species with 100 or more records add up to 58% of the database. The number of species known from
a single locality is also high: 158 ant species (21% in 753 species). The most common ant species recorded in
the state of Pará were Ectatomma tuberculatum (Olivier, 1792) (139 sites), Cephalotes atratus (Linnaeus, 1758)
(127), Paraponera clavata (Fabricius, 1775) (119), Ectatomma brunneum Smith, 1858 (99), Camponotus atriceps
(Smith, 1858) (98), Pseudomyrmex gracilis (Fabricius, 1804) (93), Pseudomyrmex tenuis (Fabricius, 1804) (89),
and Gigantiops destructor (Fabricius, 1804) (87).
Most records in our database (N = 21,621) were obtained from museum collections: 18,543 records, or 86%
of species-level identifications; we found 3,079 records in the literature. The database includes ant records from
specimens collected (or sources published) between 1886 and 2020. We found that 1,340 records (6.2%), representing
345 ant species, had no collection year information. The number of records extracted from collections and from
the literature tended to increase over time but fluctuated markedly (Fig. 3; see Fig. 1A: spatial distribution of data
sources). We found 5,495 site-specific museum records collected from 1903–2018, including 553 species. From
published sources, we extracted 2,639 site-specific records, from 1886–2020, corresponding to 580 species (Fig.
4).
The distribution of sampling effort throughout the state is highly uneven. For example, taking into account
site-specific records, the state capital, Belém, had 769 records, followed by Parauapebas (479), Santarém (447),
Oriximiná (419), Melgaço (392), and Paragominas (365). Indeed, most records can be associated with research
sites near the capital of Pará (Belém, Marituba), mining areas (Parauapebas, Paragominas, Óbidos, Oriximiná,
and Bannach, near Parauapebas), a hydroelectric dam (Tucuruí), and field stations belonging to research institutes
(MPEG in Melgaço, Portel, and Breves municipalities) or universities (Santarém and Altamira).

FIGuRE 4. Collector’s curve based on museum specimens (546 species) and published sources (561 species) for ant species
recorded in the state of Pará, Brazil, between 1886 and 2018.
Records mapped based on areas of endemism in the Amazon, vegetation types, or protected areas within the state
of Pará also reveal a highly uneven distribution (Fig. 1B–D) (N = 7,226 site-specific records aggregated by species
and year, excluding 1,336 records without spatial resolution). For example, more than 2,000 records were found in
areas of endemism in Xingu or Belém (24% and 10% of the territory, respectively), while the other areas had less
than 1,000 records (Tab. 2). Comparisons based on record density/km2 suggest a more homogeneous sampling effort
among areas (Tab. 2). In the Belém area of endemism, records were concentrated along approximately 250 km of
roads from Belém towards coastal areas (Fig. 1B). In Xingu, most records were associated with Serra dos Carajás
and Tucuruí (Tocantins River). Sampling in both regions was primarily driven by research on biodiversity to comply
with the legal requirements for development projects in Brazil (for mining and the construction of hydroelectric
dams). Similarly, record density in the Guiana area of endemism was the result of sampling performed at a mining
site (Porto Trombetas region). Moreover, most records along the east-west borders of the areas of endemism of
Belém, Marajó, Guiana-Tapajós, and Rondônia were associated with the Amazon and Tapajós Rivers (Fig. 1E).
In terms of bias in vegetation types, most records were associated with dense ombrophilous forest (3,185, or
44%); secondary forests included 2,495 records, or 34% of all records (Tab. 2; Fig. 1C). Dense ombrophilous forests
occupy around 57% of the area of Pará, while secondary forests correspond to 7%; record density/km2 suggests
greater effort in secondary forests than in dense ombrophilous forests. We did not find records in seasonal deciduous
forests, which occupy 1.11% of the land area. The most uneven distribution of records was observed in conservation
units: only 2,213 records (30%) were collected in these areas (Fig. 1D). However, these collections were highly
aggregated: out of 34 conservation units in the state of Pará, 57% of the records came from the three conservation
units in the most sampled areas in the state (Parque Estadual do Utinga, Belém; Floresta Nacional de Carajás; and
Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã) (Tab. 2).
There was also a strong bias in ant collection in Pará caused by infrastructure (i.e., proximity to access routes
such as roads and rivers; Fig. 1D). We found that 4,675 (64%) and 2,383 (33%) records were concentrated within 10
km of the main roads and rivers of Pará, respectively, while a 5 km buffer explained 29% (roads) and 16% (rivers),
ANTS OF PARá
Zootaxa 5001 (1) © 2021 Magnolia Press ·
9
and a 1 km buffer corresponded to 4% and 7% of the total records in roads and rivers, respectively (Tab. 3). In terms
of species richness recorded, the bias was concentrated within a 10 km buffer, with roads and rivers explaining 68%
of the total ant species known in Pará (Tab. 3).
TABlE 2. Distribution of ant species richness and number of records across the state of Pará based on three geographical
categories (areas of endemism, vegetation types, and protected areas). APA = environmental protection area; FLOES =
state forest; FLONA = national forest; PARES = state park; PARNA = national park; REBIO = biological reserve; REDES
= sustainable reserve; RESEX = harvest reserve; REVIS = wildlife refuge. The area of the state is 1,261,077 km2. The
total number of site-specific records, aggregated by species and year, is 7,226 (excluding 1,355 records without spatial
resolution).

Regarding exotic species, we recorded 12 species from 78 records and 29 study sites in Pará (Fig. 1F), accounting
for 0.3% of all records. Most of the records (61) were within 10 km of a road; five records were within 10 km of a
river (Tab. 4-A and 4-B).
Discussion
The ant fauna of the state of Pará
Our regional list of ant species for the state of Pará represents the most accurate information ever compiled for
any region in the Brazilian Amazon. We combined species records from published and unpublished sources, records
from museum specimens deposited in the main entomological collections of Brazil, and spatial data to characterize
the distribution of ant records in eastern Amazonia.
The species richness recorded in Pará is among the highest for any political unit in Brazil or South America
(Guénard et al. 2017; Janicki et al. 2016; Guerrero et al. 2018; Franco et al. 2019). However, this is expected
given (i) the wide geographic area of its territory, in turn inserted into the largest tropical forest on earth, and (ii) a
thorough examination of literature records and museum specimens to mapping species occurrences.
Among the 90 genera of ants known to occur in Pará, 20 genera were particularly rich in species and included
523 ant species, or 72% of the regional list. The eight most frequently recorded genera (Pseudomyrmex, Camponotus,
Ectatomma, Cephalotes, Dolichoderus, Neoponera, Paraponera, and Eciton) were common in our database,
probably because they usually include medium to large ants, easily collected through traps and by direct sampling.
The other 70 genera are represented by only 208 species, which are probably undersampled.

The ant fauna of Pará and the Amazon Basin requires additional taxonomic studies and higher sampling effort
for an accurate description of its diversity and distribution. Almost half of the new records belong to diverse and
taxonomically challenging genera, such as Pheidole (20 new records), Pseudomyrmex (15), and Camponotus (13).
The new records reported for Pheidole and Pseudomyrmex were noticed by experts who studied the collections
recently, while for Acromyrmex, Azteca, Camponotus, and Neivamyrmex the new species and subspecies records
mostly come from samples identified in the past by experts whose data was not made available at the time. Therefore,
increasing taxonomic knowledge of historically neglected genera (e.g., Hypoponera) and from regional reviews that
do not include species from the Amazon region, such as Eurhopalothrix (Longino 2013), Nesomyrmex (Hita Garcia
et al. 2017), Nylanderia (La Polla et al. 2011; Kallal & La Polla 2012), and Solenopsis (Pitts et al. 2018), may reveal
new records and lead to the discovery of new species for Pará.
To a lesser extent, we also present records exclusively from museums and not cited in the literature before for
common species—widely distributed in the Neotropics [e.g., Linepithema angulatum (Emery 1894)]; rare species—
known only from the type locality or with a limited known distribution (e.g., Dolichoderus haradae MacKay 1993);
and recently described species—less than 10 years ago (e.g., Octostruma pexidorsum Longino 2013).
The species list includes 12 non-native species commonly recorded in Brazil. Our descriptive analysis suggests
that records were more associated with roads than rivers. However, sample coverage is extremely low, constraining
further analyses about drivers of exotic species distribution or exotic species as drivers of biodiversity losses.
Record distribution among species is highly skewed, and many species are known from a single locality. If ten
or fewer records is defined as an arbitrary threshold in order to describe narrow-sampled species in our database,
546 species meet this criterion or 71% of the regional list is characterized by small samples. Although numerous
processes may lead to this asymmetry in species distribution (e.g., biases in surveys and museum data, rare species
in assemblages, distinct relative species abundances; Longino et al. 2002; Jones et al. 2019), the main insight is that
there is incomplete knowledge about species-level distributions (Wallacean shortfall; Whittaker et al. 2005) for a
large percentage of the ant fauna. Further, the robustness of species distribution models relies on a minimum number
of specimen records to develop accurate models (Van Proosdij et al. 2018).
Historical considerations
In the 19th century, ant collections in Pará were conducted by naturalists, including Emílio Goeldi (18591917), Jacques Huber (1867-1914), and Adolpho Ducke (1876-1959). At the time, these specimens were sent to
Auguste Forel at the Musée d’Histoire Naturelle Genève, who published one of the first checklists of ants for Brazil
(Forel, 1895). Then, in the early 20th century, the myrmecologist William M. Mann (1886-1960), the entomologist
for the 1911 Stanford Expedition to Brazil, collected ants from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, which
led to new distribution records and the discovery of several new species (Mann 1916). After the passage of these
naturalists, for many years, entomological research in the North region was neglected. Between 1950 and 1960
there was a great investment by the National Council of Science and Technology (CNPq) to conserve and reactivate
the entomological collections in the Amazon region, including financial incentives for field expeditions (Overal &
Gorayeb 1981). Between 1966 and 1967, the myrmecologist Walter W. Kempf (1920-1976) initiated a collaboration
with researchers in the Amazon and conducted the first ant survey in the region of Belém (Kempf 1970). These
surveys associated with the financial investment by government agencies that revitalized biological collections were
crucial to increase both the voucher specimens deposited in Brazilian collections and knowledge of ants in Pará. In
the 1970’s, William L. Overal, other researchers, and technicians from MPEG began to regularly collect ants from
different sites in Pará, primarily as part of environmental impact assessments and scientific expeditions. Since then,
studies on insect pest control (Wetterer & Porter 2003), cytogenetics (Santos et al. 2012), ecology (Solar et al. 2016;
Lima et al. 2020), and taxonomy (Fernandes et al. 2014), among others, have used or surveyed ants collected in the
state.
This development was followed by an increase in the number of specimens and species records over time in
local museums (also depicted by Fig. 3, 1950-60’s and 1970-80’s), resulting in a massive effort to digitize the main
Brazilian collections in late 2010’s, bringing us a new perspective and a challenge about how to store, manage,
integrate and share this data.
Distribution of ant sampling in the state of Pará
In this study, we report a high heterogeneity in ant sampling across a Brazilian state in the eastern Amazon
region. There is a strong bias in ant collection in Pará caused by proximity to access routes such as roads and

rivers. This is a common pattern for Amazon localities, since access to the interior of dense forests is not easy
or even possible in most places. Sampling coverage was driven by environmental impact assessments of mining
areas and hydroelectric dams required by the Brazilian legislation (that is, studies required during the planning and
environmental licensing phases of major infrastructure projects); research units near urban centers (for example,
sampling concentrated near Belém and Santarém) and/or field stations (e.g., Floresta Nacional de Caxiuanã); and
main roads and rivers. Spatially, sampling diversity is essentially described by (i) an east-southeast axis accessible
through roads, and (ii) collections along main rivers and cities (Tocantins, Amazon, and Tapajós Rivers).
The Belém area of endemism, a biogeographic region east of the Tocantins River, is located in the easternmost
part of Amazon. It is the most deforested area in the Amazon (only 29–32% of the original forest cover is preserved;
Prudente et al. 2018; INCT 2012), but it is also the second area with the largest number of ant records. However,
most sampling occurred near urban centers (mainly Belém) and along highways connecting Belém to the coast.
Therefore, our understanding of ant distribution in the most accessible but largely destroyed area of endemism of the
Amazon is essentially incomplete. Studies of ant fauna in the remaining old-growth and secondary-growth forests
are crucial to understand and record the biodiversity of this area of endemism (Almeida & Vieira 2010).
Since sampling efforts in the state of Pará have been concentrated on environmental assessments for large
infrastructure projects in eastern Amazonia and around urban centers, we found low sampling density in protected
areas, despite 55% of the territory of the state of Pará is currently protected by law (Veríssimo et al. 2011). Indeed,
the best sampled protected areas were near mining areas, cities, or field stations run by research centers (Floresta
Nacional de Carajás, Floresta Nacional de Saracá-Taquera, Parque Estadual do Utinga, Belém, and Floresta
Nacional de Caxiuanã). Given current concerns about the impact of plans by the Brazilian government for major
infrastructure development and natural resource harvesting in protected areas, the need for intense invertebrate
surveys in protected areas of the state of Pará has also become more pressing. In addition, ants have high local
dominance (Fittkau & Klinge 1973, Elwood & Foster 2004) and play a key ecological role (Griffiths et al. 2018),
therefore information about ant diversity is crucial to develop management plans for protected areas.
Priority areas for ant surveys in the state of Pará
There were numerous and significant gaps in sampling coverage of the territory of Pará. Two large geographical
areas, the Guiana and Tapajós areas of endemism, provided scattered ant records and may be considered particularly
poorly sampled areas. For example, the Calha Norte region of the state (Guiana area of endemism) and the protected
areas in the states of Amapá and Amazonas, which are part of the largest block of protected areas in the world, remain
largely unsampled. This continuously forested area is considered of high biological importance but is relatively
poorly known (Strand et al. 2018). Similarly, across the Tapajós area of endemism, large blocks of forest in the
central-west or central-south regions of Pará (including indigenous lands) have not been surveyed. Furthermore,
large blocks of forest within harvest reserves (reservas extrativistas, a type of conservation unit that allows for
sustainable uses) that are nevertheless severely threatened by deforestation, such as those bounded by the Amazonas
River to the north of Amazonas and Xingu River to the East, are poorly sampled systematically.
From 2005 to 2012, governmental interventions based on a set of strategies aimed at controlling deforestation
across the region had reduced annual deforestation rates by 80% in 2009 (Nepstad et al. 2009; Da Silva et al.
2017). However, this progress was fragile and ephemeral. The Amazon Basin continues to suffer rapid clearing and
degradation (Azevedo-Santos et al. 2017; Magnusson et al. 2018; Ferrante & Fearnside 2019), and deforestation has
been increasing in the last few years (Carvalho et al. 2019; Vilela et al. 2020; INPE 2020).
At present, the rate of deforestation and fires in the Amazon has been increasing substantially, and total
deforestation rate is almost 20% of the forested area (Nobre et al. 2016), making Pará one of the leaders in Amazon
Forest loss (Vedovato et al. 2016; INPE 2020). Forest loss is still pervasive across the region and does not respond
to a systematic plan and investments of funding agencies to increase sampling coverage of invertebrates; our
knowledge of the little things that run the world (Wilson 1987) is largely underestimated and threatened by land-use
and climate changes in the largest tropical forest of the world.
Concluding remarks
Scientific expeditions conducted by legendary naturalists and recent ones, mainly associated with large development
projects implemented in the state of Pará have great historical and scientific importance in documenting the

biodiversity of the region (Vanzolini 2004; Lovejoy 2019), and through natural history collections, we are able
to redeem its extremely valuable source of information for biodiversity studies (Meineke et al. 2018; Jones et al.
2019).
In addition, we found a strong bias in ant collection in Pará in terms of proximity of sampled sites to access
routes, such as roads and rivers. We also found that species records were highly unevenly distributed based on areas
of endemism within the Amazon, vegetation type, and protected areas within the state. Ant surveys are still lacking
from most protected areas of Pará, and further sampling is urgently needed in view of the current trend of expansion
of major infrastructure projects and natural resource harvesting within protected areas of Pará.
Lastly, we developed the largest database of ant species distribution in Pará, which is instrumental to inform
further sampling to increase knowledge and develop conservation strategies for the Amazon region.
