2) Human activities such as massive deforestation will affect the Allomerus decemarticulatus worker ants and cause their population to decrease. This is because the ants uses the fibre of plants they inhibit to create the trap to snare their prey. With the deforestation in the Amazon region, there will be less plants for them to inhibit, thus, they would not be able to get the fibres needed to create the trap and to catch their prey for food, which will eventually cause them to die.
