Abstract

Community of arboreal ants associated with the pequizeiro (Caryocar brasiliense Camb.) in the remnant of cerrado goiano (State of Goiás, Brazil) was surveyed in the trunk of these plants, using bait based on sardine and soy oil. During one year, in the four climatic seasons, consecutive collects of the ants were accomplished. A total of 32  species was collected during the studuy period. Myrmicinae and  Formicinae were the most frequently subfamilies found. Significant  difference was verified in the composition of the arboreal ants community along the investigated climatic seasons. Significant  correlation was not verified between size of the trees and richness of  ant species associated to the pequizeiro
