Ants are one of the most abundant insect groups and they occur almost in every type of terrestrial habitat, which makes them perfect candidates for the subject of such studies (GALLÉ 1991, Agosti & al. 2000, VEPSÄLÄINEN & al. 2000). As significant proportions of agricultural lands are abandoned nowadays the study of insect versus plant community succession on such old-fields could help us understand how these lands transform and eventually return to a semi-natural state (Dauber & al. 2006).…
