Leaf-cutting ants are herbivores that have great potential to shape communities and ecosystems functioning and are therefore considered ecosystem engineers. Most damage caused by leaf-cutting ants occurs in young leaves, thus influencing seedlings establishment and development, possibly delaying the restoration processes. The aim of this study was to verify if leaf-cutting ants can act as a biotic filter determining species composition of communities undergoing restoration, and if they can lead to extinction some species or compromise the structure of restored forests. The study was conducted in a riparian forest undergoing restoration since 1990, at the municipality of Tarumã-SP. We simulated the arrival of forest species to the site being...
