Associations of Two Ecologically Significant Social Insect Taxa in the Litter of an Amazonian Rainforest: Is There a Relationship between Ant and Termite Species Richness?

<table>Species accumulation curves for (a) ants and (b) termites. Each sample consists of the total species collected via Winkler device, pitfall trap, baiting, and hand collecting at each sampling point (<svg height="11.225" id="M4" style="vertical-align:-0.1638pt" version="1.1" viewbox="0 0 44.400002 11.225" width="44.400002" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
