“…Groups or food guilds of edaphic macrofauna can be used to explore environmental aspects of the natural environment or a part of this (forest, biotopes, successional states, soil), so, when biological and ecological aspects are examined, ecological responses can be hypothesized, expressed these in diversity, abundance or biomass and its comparative variation (Ahrens et al, 2009;Cabrera, 2012;Cabrera et al, 2011aCabrera et al, , 2011bKrebs, 1985;Marín et al, 2001;Morón, 1997Morón, , 2001Nichols et al, 2007;Pardo-Locarno, 2009;Pashanasi, 2001;Ruíz, 2007;Ruíz & Posada, 1985;Villalobos et al, 2000). The food guilds used must have attributes that facilitate their study and monitoring, such as biological and ecological records, to be relatively diverse, to have protocols of collection, manipulation and identification, and if possible, have a differential response in guild attributes and habitats (Brown, 1997;McGeoch, 1998;McGeoch et al, 2002).…”
