==Effects on other species== The abundance of biological resources within the nest has led to a number of specialized predators. The [[aardvark]] and the [[Tamandua|ant eater]] use long tongues to prey upon termite and ant nests. Birds such as the [[European honey buzzard|honey buzzard]] specialize on wasp and bee nests, a resource also targeted by the [[tropical hornet]]. [[Symbiosis]], ranging from feeding on waste to [[obligate parasitism]], is common within the nest. Ant nests alone support symbiotes spanning six classes of [[arthropod]]s which includes 35 families just from the [[beetle]]s.<ref name=Hansell />
