Resumo: | The present work aimed to study the factors that influence the assemblages of arboreal and epigeic ants in fragments of the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest in the Rio de Janeiro State. The sampling of the ant assemblages was carried out in three forest fragments located in the municipality of Paraiba do Sul and four in the municipality of Três Rios. The sampling has carried out in each forest remnant with 20 baits (sardine and honey) allocated on the ground and brushed on the trunk of 20 trees, and the ants being collected manually. Environmental variables were obtained to verify its association with the ant species richness and diversity and with the number of guilds per forest remnant. In total, 55 ant species were collected, belonging to 20 genera. The variable that most influenced the richness and diversity of epigenic ant species was the level of isolation of forest fragments, which significantly explained about 68% of the richness variation and about 80% of the diversity variation. The mathematical model with the variables level of isolation of the forest fragments, litter leaf depth, circumference of the tree trunk at breast height (CBH), luminosity and forest fragment area, explained more than 99% of the epigenic ant species richness variation (R²= 99.94%; F= 339.06; P= 0.04). The arboreal ant species richness was significantly influenced by CBH (R²= 67.98%; F= 10.62; P= 0.02), and the arboreal ant diversity was affected by CBH and the size of forest (R²= 81.90%; F= 9.05; P= 0.03). Seven ant guilds were observed, and the number of guilds was influenced by litter leaf depth and luminosity (R²= 77.87%; F= 7.04; P= 0.05). The myrmecofauna of the Seasonal Semideciduous Forest is affected by the landscape and vegetation characteristics related to the successional stage of the forest and with environmental heterogeneity. |

A amostragem das assembleias de formigas foi realizada em três fragmentos florestais no Município de Paraíba do Sul e quatro no Município de Três Rios. Em cada remanescente florestal, 20 iscas de sardinha e mel foram alocadas sobre o solo e a mesma quantidade foi pincelada sobre o tronco de árvores, com as formigas sendo coletadas manualmente. Foram obtidas variáveis ambientais para verificar a sua associação com a riqueza e a diversidade de espécies de formigas e com o número de guildas nos remanescentes florestais. Foram coletadas 55 espécies de formigas, pertencentes a 20 gêneros. A variável que mais influenciou a riqueza e a diversidade de espécies de formigas epigéicas foi o nível de isolamento dos fragmentos florestais, explicando significativamente cerca de 68% da variação da riqueza e aproximadamente 80% da variação da diversidade. O modelo matemático com as variáveis nível de isolamento dos fragmentos, profundidade de serapilheira, circunferência do tronco de árvores a altura do peito (CAP), luminosidade e área do fragmento, explicou mais de 99% da variação da riqueza de espécies de formigas epigéicas (R²= 99,94%; F= 339,06; P= 0,04). A riqueza de formigas arborícolas foi influenciada pela CAP (R²= 67,98%; F= 10,62; P= 0,02) e a diversidade de formigas arborícolas foi afetada pela CAP e pelo tamanho dos remanescentes florestais (R²= 81,90%; F= 9,05; P= 0,03). Foram observadas sete guildas de formigas, sendo a riqueza de guildas influenciada pela profundidade de serapilheira e pela luminosidade (R²= 77,87%; F= 7,04; P= 0,05). A mirmecofauna da Floresta Estacional Semidecidual é afetada pelas características da paisagem e da vegetação, relacionadas com o estágio sucessional da floresta e a heterogeneidade ambiental.
