(圖2)切葉蟻(Leaf‐cutter ants)就是其中一種會利用「耕種」來取得糧食的動物。421Please respect copyright.PENANAA2e3V3cfwi421Please respect copyright.PENANAB8ipQkCSzx

在熱帶樹林中,牠們約佔草食性動物的人口25%左右,每年大約會清除樹林1-2噸的草生植物。421Please respect copyright.PENANA38ZCdC0ihy

(圖3)牠們所清除的草生植物,並非是直接用於食用,而是儲存在深至地下8米的洞穴裡頭,在陰暗的環境下催迫菌類萌生在樹葉之上,而那些菌類才是牠們的真正糧食。421Please respect copyright.PENANA5oRuV6CYQS421Please respect copyright.PENANApE60dEDFWC

牠們此舉同時間亦造就了另一道的生態平衡,把葉子的養份帶到泥土深處,使泥土更為之充滿不同礦物質,並讓其他植物的根部更容易吸收。421Please respect copyright.PENANAO8sLuph8Ww
