“…The influence of the environmental heterogeneity on the myrmecofauna has been confirmed in several studies (LUTINSKI et al, 2014;CANTARELLI et al, 2015;CORASSA et al, 2015). Crepaldi et al (2014) evaluated the ant community in an integrated pasture-grazing system and compared it with other management systems and confirmed that more conserved environments can support a greater diversity of specialized taxa favored by litter production and by the vegetal typology with consequent microclimatic amenability.…”

“…Structurally more complex habitats, such as forests, tend to harbor a more abundant and diversified edaphic fauna, due to the greater availability of ecological niches, shelter and food resources and are associated with a lower risk of predation, while homogeneous and simplified environments, such as monocultures, tend be more restrictive by favoring some groups of the fauna in relation to others (ANTONIOLLI et al, 2006;SILVA et al, 2012). As a result, it is common to find a greater diversity of insects in the forests, generally with reduced abundance and high wealth, because the populations are controlled by interspecific relations; in contrast to areas that have suffered an impact or are used with monocultures, few species are easily sampled, even those that are abundant (CORASSA et al, 2015). Machado et al (2015) attested this by characterizing the soil fauna of areas in the Atlantic Forest in different stages of ecological succession where it was observed that, to the detriment of the structural complexity of the vegetation and increase of the biomass in the soil, there was an increase in the density and richness of the sampled groups.…”

“…Habitats estruturalmente mais complexos como as florestas tendem a abrigar uma fauna edáfica mais abundante e diversificada, em virtude da maior disponibilidade de nichos ecológicos, abrigo e recursos alimentares, associado ao menor risco de predação, enquanto que ambientes homogêneos e simplificados, como os monocultivos, tendem a ser mais restritivos, favorecendo alguns grupos da fauna em relação a outros (ANTONIOLLI et al, 2006;SILVA et al, 2012). Em virtude disso, é comum encontrar nas florestas uma diversidade maior de insetos, geralmente com abundância reduzida e riqueza elevada, pois as populações são controladas pelas relações interespecíficas; em contrapartida, em áreas que sofreram algum impacto ou são utilizadas com monoculturas, são facilmente amostradas poucas espécies, contudo abundantes (CORASSA et al, 2015). Machado et al (2015) atestaram isso ao caracterizarem a fauna edáfica de áreas na Mata Atlântica em diferentes estágios de sucessão ecológica, onde observou-se que, em detrimento da complexidade estrutural da vegetação e incremento da biomassa no solo, houve um aumento na densidade e na riqueza de grupos amostrados.…”

“…They play an important role in ecosystems because they exhibit the necessary characteristics to verify the conditions of preservation, degradation or recovery of the environment (FRANÇA et al, 2014). These characteristics include dominance, wide distribution, high abundance and species richness, specialized taxa, ease of sampling and sensitivity to changes in the environment, which are excellent indicators of biological quality (FRANÇA et al, 2014;CORASSA et al, 2015).…”

“…As formigas, juntamente com abelhas e vespas, compõem a ordem Hymenoptera. Desempenham um importante papel nos ecossistemas por exibirem as características necessárias à verificação das condições de preservação, degradação ou recuperação do ambiente (FRANÇA et al, 2014), tais como: dominância, ampla distribuição, alta abundância e riqueza de espécies, táxons especializados, facilidade de amostragem e sensibilidade a alterações no ambiente, apresentam-se como excelentes indicadoras de qualidade biológica (FRANÇA et al, 2014;CORASSA et al, 2015).…”

The phylum Arthropoda is one of the most diverse groups under the terrestrial surface comprising different classes of insects that occupy different environments. Some groups have a close relationship with the habitat they occupy, responding significantly to changes in the environment, thus indicating the level of change in the environment by their presence or absence. The present study aimed to demonstrate the importance of edaphic fauna as a bioindicator of environmental quality. This is a bibliographic review based on specialized consultation of scientific articles in the databases Google Scholar, SciELO-Scientific Electronic Library and ResearchGate. The studies found that environmental quality can be measured from the diversity and abundance of arthropods that live and perform their functions in the soil. Macrofauna influences important soil chemical and physical processes such as nutrient cycling, structuring and homogenization, and increased productivity, among others. The mesofauna, besides acting on soil properties, acts on the regulation of microbial populations, is sensitive to changes and responds promptly. The groups Acari, Collembola, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Araneae are indicated in several studies as potential bioindicators because they are commonly sampled in different environments. The factors identified as conditioning factors of the presence of these groups are environmental heterogeneity, type of vegetation cover and availability of litter, applied management system, seasonality, soil characteristics, and anthropic activities, among others. In short, because they respond quickly, the changes are considered to be efficient biological indicators; therefore, knowing the diversity of species and their degree of interaction with the environment allows us to analyze the effects of anthropic modifications in ecosystems.Resumo: O filo Arthropoda é um dos grupos mais diversos da superfície terrestre, compreendendo diferentes classes de insetos que ocupam diversos ambientes. Alguns grupos, entretanto, apresentam relação estreita com o habitat que ocupam, respondendo de forma significativa às modificações no ambiente, o que acaba indicando o nível de alteração desse mesmo ambiente através de sua presença ou ausência. O presente estudo objetivou demonstrar a importância da fauna edáfica como bioindicadora de qualidade ambiental. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica baseada em consulta especializada de artigos científicos nos bancos de dados Google Acadêmico, SciELO-Scientific Eletronic Library e ResearchGate. Os trabalhos encontrados apontaram que a qualidade ambiental pode ser mensurada a partir da diversidade e abundância de artrópodes que vivem e desempenham suas funções no solo. A macrofauna influencia importantes processos químicos e físicos do solo como a ciclagem de nutrientes, estruturação e homogeneização, aumento da produtividade, dentre outros. Já a mesofauna, além de atuar sobre as propriedades edáficas, atua na regulação de populações microbianas e é sensível às alterações, respondendo pr...

Effects of Habitat Conversion on Ant Functional Groups: A Global Review

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Conversion of natural to anthropogenic environments affects biodiversity, and the understanding of these impacts may be improved by assessing how different functional groups respond to such land conversion. We studied land conversion impacts on ant functional groups, as ants are ecologically important and respond well to various environmental changes. We hypothesized that conversion of natural to anthropogenic environments modifies the composition of functional groups, fostering generalist and opportunistic groups over specialist ones, with more responses of this type in tropical than in temperate regions. We recovered 412 papers from ISI Web of Science, of which we selected 17 studies, published between 1993 and 2018, that addressed our study’s question. We assessed whether each functional group responded positively or negatively to conversion of natural habitat into anthropogenic land uses and used Monte Carlo tests to assess significance. Ants were affected by natural habitat conversion into monoculture and polyculture and by the conversion of savannas and of tropical and subtropical forests. Land conversion affected six of the 13 functional groups assessed here. In the temperate zone, cryptic species, predators, subordinate Camponotini, cold-climate specialists and tropical-climate specialists were impaired, whereas hot-climate specialists were favored. In the tropics, land conversion negatively impacted fungus-growers and predators. In both climatic zones, several functional groups, mainly those with broad ecological niches, did not respond to land conversion. Our results corroborate that land conversion effects vary among ant functional groups and indicate that the ant fauna of temperate ecosystems may be more susceptible than that of tropical regions.

Ants are used as bioindicators because they play diverse ecological roles in terrestrial ecosystems. Their richness, abundance, and broad geographic distribution allow these insects to be used to predict the conditions of environmental conservation. This study aimed to evaluate the bioindicator potential of the ant fauna in Parque Estadual do Turvo, Rio Grande do Sul. Sampling was carried out in two events, in January and November of 2019, using soil and canopy pitfall traps, sardine baits, glucose baits, an entomological umbrella, and a sweeping net. We verified the association of ant species to the sampled strata (soil and leaf litter and vegetation) through an Indicator Species Analysis (ISA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We identified 157 species belonging to 32 genera and eight subfamilies. The subfamily with the most outstanding richness was Myrmicinae, with 70 species, followed by Formicinae, with 40 species. The richest genera in the samples were Camponotus (S = 29), Pheidole (S = 23), and Linepithema (S = 11). Overall, 58 species occurred exclusively in the soil and leaf litter stratum and 23 in the arboreal stratum. Nine species had a significant indication value for the sampled strata, seven for soil and leaf litter, and two for the arboreal strata. The results show the potential of ant fauna as a basis for environmental impact studies and management and conservation plans in the southern Atlantic Forest biome.
