Abstract

*[Ants can both feed on vertebrate carrion & prey upon other arthropods inhabiting corpses. An investigation using carrion-baited traps was conducted in 3 environments (rural, urban, forest) in 6 municipalities of SE Brazil, from September 2006 to October 2007. We collected 113 specimens of ants from the subfamilies Dolichoderinae, Formicinae, & Myrmicinae. Bait & environmental associations of ants & potential forensic implications of their actions are discussed.]
