Resumo: | In view of the scenario of human disturbances and regional climate change, we intend to verify whether habitats that are structurally more heterogeneous, complex and of higher quality, such as riparian forests, support a higher biodiversity of ant genera and their respective functional groups, when compared to more homogeneous environments and of low habitat quality such as abandoned pasture areas, as well as the effects of seasonality. A total of 4,865 ants belonging to 7 subfamilies and 15 ant genera were collected. The subfamilies that showed the highest representativeness (abundance) were Myrmicinae (4,436), followed by Formicinae (282), Ectatomminae (97), Dolichoderinae (18), Pseudomyrmecinae (15), Dorylinae (9) and Ponerinae (8). The high-quality habitat, which corresponds to riparian forest, had the highest richness of genera, characterized by the genus Nylanderia, with a higher occurrence of the functional group Generalist Myrmecinae, with high values of relative humidity in both seasons. On the other hand, the low-quality habitat showed less richness of genera, being the genus that caracterizes this environment the Crematogaster, with higher occurrence of the functional group of Tropical Climate Specialists and low values of relative humidity. In view of the above, this study provides subsidies for conservation work in riparian forest areas in the humid tropical forest biome. Besides warning about the reduction in the richness of ant genera due to the conversion of natural areas into pasture. |

En total, se recogieron 4.865 hormigas pertenecientes a 7 subfamilias y 15 géneros de hormigas. Las subfamilias con mayor representatividad (abundancia) fueron Myrmicinae (4.436), seguida de Formicinae (282), Ectatomminae (97), Dolichoderinae (18), Pseudomyrmecinae (15), Dorylinae (9) y Ponerinae (8). El hábitat de alta calidad que corresponde al bosque ribereño obtuvo la mayor riqueza de géneros, caracterizándose por el género Nylanderia, con mayor presencia del grupo funcional Myrmecinae generalista y altos valores de humedad relativa en ambas estaciones. En el hábitat de baja calidad, la riqueza de géneros fue menor, y el género que caracteriza este ambiente fue Crematogaster, con mayor presencia del grupo funcional de Especialistas en Clima Tropical y bajos valores de humedad relativa. En vista de lo anterior, este estudio proporciona subsidios para el trabajo de conservación en las zonas forestales ribereñas en el bioma del bosque tropical húmedo. Además de alertar sobre la disminución de la riqueza de géneros de hormigas debido a la conversión de zonas naturales en pastos.Diante do cenário de perturbações antrópicas e mudanças climáticas regionais, pretendemos verificar se habitats estruturalmente mais heterogêneos, complexos e de maior qualidade, como mata ciliar suportam uma maior biodiversidade de gêneros de formigas e seus respectivos grupos funcionais, quando comparado a ambientes mais homogêneos e de baixa qualidade de habitats como áreas de pastagem abandonadas, bem como os efeitos da sazonalidade. No total foram coletadas 4.865, formigas pertencentes a 7 subfamílias e 15 gêneros de formigas. As subfamílias que apresentaram uma maior representatividade (abundância) foram Myrmicinae (4.436), seguido de Formicinae (282), Ectatomminae (97), Dolichoderinae (18), Pseudomyrmecinae (15), Dorylinae (9) e Ponerinae (8). o habitat de alta qualidade que corresponde a mata ciliar obteve maior riqueza de gêneros, sendo caracterizado pelo gênero Nylanderia, com maior ocorrência do grupo funcional Myrmecinae Generalista e apresenta valores altos de umidade relativa do ar em ambas as estações do ano. Enquanto, no habitat de baixa qualidade apresentou menor riqueza de gêneros, sendo Crematogaster o gênero que caracteriza este ambiente, com maior ocorrência do grupo funcional das Especialistas de Clima Tropical e baixos valores de umidade relativa do ar. Diante do exposto, o presente estudo fornecer subsídios para trabalhos de conservação de áreas de mata ciliar no bioma de Floresta tropical úmida. Além de alertar sobre diminuição da riqueza de gêneros de formigas perante a conversão de áreas naturais em pastagem.Research, Society and Development2023-03-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/4063610.33448/rsd-v12i3.40636Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 No. 3; e19712340636Research, Society and Development; Vol. 12 Núm. 3; e19712340636Research, Society and Development; v. 12 n. 3; e197123406362525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/40636/33190Copyright (c) 2023 Isabella Máxia Coelho Costa; Clarissa Mendes Knoechelmann; Felipe Fernando da Silva Siqueirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Isabella Máxia Coelho Knoechelmann, Clarissa Mendes Siqueira, Felipe Fernando da Silva 2023-03-23T08:33:38Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/40636Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2023-03-23T08:33:38Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
