“…Sin embargo, Hypoponera sp.1 y O. haematodus no parecen afectarse; incluso O. brunneus triplicó su abundancia respecto al sistema silvopastoril, y mostró un alto valor indicador del sistema tradicional. Esta especie en el neotrópico se conoce de Brasil y Colombia (Fernández y Arias-Penna 2008), se la encuentra comúnmente anidando en suelo y madera en descomposición (Deyrup et al 1988) y se adapta fácilmente a hábitats perturbados (Longino 2008).…”

RESUMENPara conocer la abundancia, riqueza y composición de hormigas cazadoras y su variación en los sistemas productivos del departamento de Caquetá, se seleccionaron 27 fincas representativas de tres ventanas (agroforestal, silvopastoril y tradicional), en las cuales se identificaron hasta nueve clases de usos del suelo. Las proporciones dedicadas a pastos limpios, agroforestales y rastrojos viejos, fueron las que más contribuyeron a diferenciar las ventanas. Se muestrearon cinco puntos por finca mediante cuatro métodos para captura de hormigas (TSBF, lavado de suelo con formol, escrutinio de hojarasca y búsqueda directa). De un total de 280 individuos se determinaron nueve géneros y 35 especies de las subfamilias Ectatomminae, Paraponerinae y Ponerinae; el género más diverso fue Pachycondyla con 13 especies. La abundancia de hormigas se correlacionó directamente con la riqueza de especies y con el número de especies exclusivas. La riqueza fue mayor en la ventana agroforestal (24 especies), seguida de la silvopastoril (19) y de la tradicional (8). Cinco especies fueron comunes a las tres ventanas y siete especies (Ectatomma ruidum, Hypoponera sp.1 y sp.4, Odontomachus haematodus, O. brunneus y Pachycondyla constricta) marcaron las diferencias en composición. Odontomachus brunneus resultó indicadora para la ventana tradicional y Paraponera clavata para la ventana silvopastoril. La búsqueda directa fue el método más eficiente para muestrear hormigas cazadoras en el piedemonte amazónico. PALABRAS-CLAVE: agroforestal, silvopastoril, tradicional, muestreo de hormigas, Odontomachus brunneus, Paraponera clavata, Caquetá. Hunter ants in productive systems of Colombian amazon foothills: diversity and indicator species ABSTRACTWe studied the abundance, richness and composition of hunting ants and their variation in production systems in department of Caquetá-Colombia, 27 farms were selected in three productive systems (agroforestry, silvopastoral and traditional), in this nine kinds of soil uses were identified. The proportions of clean pasture, agroforestry and old stubble contributed most to differentiating the systems. Five points were sampled per farm using four different methods for sampling ants (TSBF, formalin soil washing, screening of litter and direct search). A total of 280 organisms was collected, corresponding to nine genera and 35 species, belonging to the subfamilies Ectatomminae, Paraponerinae and Ponerinae. Pachycondyla was the most diverse genus (13 species). The abundance of ants was directly correlated with species richness and the number of exclusive species. The highest richness was observed in the agroforestry (24 species), followed by silvopastoral (19) and the lowest in traditional (8). Five species were common in the three systems and seven species marked the most differences in composition between systems (this was: Ectatomma ruidum, Hypoponera sp.1 and sp.4, Odontomachus haematodus, O. brunneus and Pachycondyla constricta). The species Odontomachus brunneus was indicator for the traditional s...

“…Imported fire ants first were recorded in the Florida Keys in 1976 (Callcott and Collins 1996) but were considered to be restricted to disturbed areas (Deyrup et al 1988, Porter 1992). However, during a Keys-wide survey in 1996, the ant was collected on 10 of the 14 major keys (Forys et al 1997) and in every major habitat type including hardwood hammocks, pinelands, salt and freshwater marshes, and disturbed areas (e.g., roadsides, parking lots).…”

“…Previous studies have reported that ant species in the genus Camponotus most commonly tended larvae (Minno & Emmel 1993;Carroll & Loye 2006;Saarinen & Daniels 2006), and we most commonly found C. floridanus and C. planatus associated with wild and recently released larvae. Notably, this pattern was consistent across 3 sites (BHSP, BNP, and DJSP) that likely differ dramatically in ant community composition (Deyrup et al 1988). There are at least 4 likely explanations for the apparent reciprocal affinity between Miami blue larvae and Camponotus.…”
