“…O gênero Pheidole, o mais diverso dentre os gêneros de Formicidae, apresenta 1003 espécies conhecidas pela ciência, e essa elevada diversidade taxonômica no mundo acarreta em grande diversidade local, pois geralmente é o gênero com maior riqueza de espécies em levantamentos da fauna de formigas brasileira (Vicente et al, 2018;Jory & Feitosa, 2020). Entretanto, apesar de apresentar um comportamento onívoro, esse gênero foi apenas observado no bananal e na agrofloresta.…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar as interações da fauna de formigas em uma floresta ombrófila densa, em um sistema agroflorestal diversificado, uma plantação de café sombreado por gliricídia e uma plantação de bananas que possuía vinhas de maracujá. Em cada um desses ambientes foram demarcados três transectos de 10m x 2m, onde as formigas foram coletadas e as interações ecológicas foram avaliadas. No total, foram observadas e coletadas 30 espécies de formigas, sendo a maior riqueza de espécies observada na agrofloresta, como, também, maior registro de interações. Já a menor riqueza e o menor registro de interações ocorreram no cafezal. Com base nos resultados do presente estudo, é possível constatar que, entre os sistemas de cultivo estudados, o sistema agroflorestal é o mais recomendado para a proteção da biodiversidade de formigas, por preservar maior número de espécies e de interações.

“…Considering the growing need for inventories to fill knowledge gaps about the diversity of places that need to be given conservation prior-ity, regional species lists are an important tool (Castro et al, 2018;Demétrio et al, 2017;Vicente et al, 2018). The primary data generated by the inventory of animal and plant species are very important in decision-making regarding environmental conservation management.…”

Piauí, a Brazilian Northeast state, has been considered one of the most important regions for the presence of new taxa in ants globally, especially considering the ecosystems’ diversity formed by the transition of the three biomes in the state, the Cerrado, Caatinga and the Atlantic Forest. Despite the recent increase in studies of ant diversity in the Neotropical region, Piauí still represents a major knowledge gap regarding its ant fauna. Therefore, this study aimed to increase the knowledge about the ant fauna of the state by generating a list of species with data obtained from the literature, online repositories and collection expeditions to the Serra da Capivara and Serra das Confusões National Parks. A total of 152 species in 52 genera and nine subfamilies were registered from 24 localities in Piauí. Fifty-eight out the 152 species recorded represent new records for the state, eight are new records for the Brazilian Northeast Region, and one consists of a new record for the country. Eleven species are here recognized as new for science. Considering the field expeditions carried out here, this work represents the first standardized study for the ant fauna of Piauí. The species list presented considerably exceeds the current number of species registered for the state so far. From the present 48 records, the number of species for Piauí raises to more than 150 with a tendency to increase with the accomplishment of future field endeavors and advances in the study of the local ants.

“…The eleven species recorded for the first time in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul had already been found in the neighboring states or in Cerrado areas (see Camacho & Vasconcelos, 2015;Oliveira et al, 2016;Franco & Feitosa, 2018;Vicente et al, 2018). This can be explained by the fact that, even though the predominant phytophysiognomy of the cordilheira is the cerradão, other phytophysiognomies occur in the area, for example the more typical Cerrado formation.…”

Species list of ground-dwelling ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Nhecolândia, Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

This study provides a list of the ground-dwelling ant species in Nhecolândia, Pantanal, Mato Grosso Sul, Brazil. The Pantanal is the largest tropical wetland in the world and is currently under strong anthropic pressure. Ground-dwelling ants were collected in three sites: (1) a forest regeneration area; (2) a pasture area; and (3) an area of secondary native vegetation. In each site, 120 samples were collected using pitfall traps in the dry and rainy seasons of 2016. Additional samplings were performed with Winkler extractors (30 leaf-litter samples) and manually, also in dry and rainy seasons of 2016. In total, we collected 172 species, which, summed with the additional records from literature, raise the number of ant species recorded in Nhecolândia to 184 in 42 genera and nine subfamilies. Eleven species were recorded for the first time in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Also, the survey adds two new species records to Brazil. Besides contributing to the inventory of the ant species present in the Pantanal biome, the present study provides an important resource for future conservation plans for this threatened ecoregion.
