“…Mucrosomia (Iso tomidae: Anurophorinae) was recorded for the first time in ant nests; until now this genus has been found in Brazil only by Mendonça and Queiroz (2013) in mountains of the southeast of the country, whereas the other 3 known species occur in Europe (Potapov 2001). The species Proisotoma minima (Collembola: Isotomidae) has been recorded once previously associated with Ponerinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) ant nests found in cacao pods (Castaño-Meneses et al 2014).…”

Four species of Collembola were found in nests of the ant genera Myrmicocrypta, Trachymyrmex and Sericomyrmex of the tribe Attini (Formicidae: Myrmicinae). The panmyrmecophilic collembolan Cyphoderus (Lepidocyrtidae: Cyphoderinae) was the most abundant and was associated with all the ants. The collembolan genus Mucrosomia (Isotomidae: Anurophorinae) was found for the first time in ant nests. This is the first list of springtails found in nests of fungus-growing ants other than those belonging to the genera Atta and Acromyrmex (Formicidae: Myrmicinae).

“…La presencia de Entomobryidae se ve favorecida en condiciones donde existe material vegetal en descomposición producido por la humedad, lo cual coincide con las condiciones del presente estudio realizado durante la temporada de lluvias (Allasi, 2016). Además, un estudio realizado en el cultivo de cacao en Brasil ha señalado que la presencia de Entomobryidae está relacionada a la presencia de nidos de hormigas (Castaño-Meneses et al, 2014). En el cultivo de maíz en Colombia, los Poduromorpha, los cuales incluyen a la familia Poduridae, presentaron el mayor número de individuos capturados por trampas de caída afectados por insecticidas, al igual que los resultados obtenidos en el cacao, por lo que se puede determinar que esta familia es representativa en investigaciones donde que aplican plaguicidas y evalúan la artropofauna de suelo (Castaño-Meneses et al, 2014).…”

Toxicity of four pesticides in ecosystem services of terrestrial arthropofauna in cocoa cultivation was evaluated. Cypermethrin (T1), carbofuran (T2), copper oxychloride (T3) and chlorpyrifos (T4) were applied in a cocoa farm in San Martín, Peru. Forty pitfall traps were placed for each treatment to capture terrestrial arthropofauna in four evaluations. It is concluded that the families that presented the greatest abundance of individuals were Formicidae, Entomobryidae and Poduridae. For the global evaluation, significant differences were found in the predators for the specific richness index, being T3 the one that presented the lowest numbers; while for the Margalef index, the lowest value was T3. For the analysis by evaluations, significant differences were found in the detritivores during the second evaluation for the number of individuals, with T4 being the lowest number. Significant differences were also found in the predators during the first evaluation in the Margalef index, with the lowest value being observed in T4. The trophic guild that allowed the most efficient evaluation of the toxicity were the predators, T1 is the most compatible pesticide with the terrestrial arthropods associated with cocoa cultivation, and the alpha diversity indices showed significant differences between the applied pesticides.
