Abstract (en):
Based on the review of material deposited in the Museum of Entomology, University of Valle (MUSENUV) and exhaustive search of the literature has been published by the group of Biology, Ecology and Management of Ants in the last 15 years, presents the updated list of ant species that inhabit the tropical dry forest of the Cauca river valley. Implemented various collection methods (direct capture, pitfall traps, tuna baits attraction and Winkler litter extraction) in 13 forest fragments and surrounding habitats, which reported 215 species of ants, represented by 63 genera and 12 subfamilies. Forest fragments, in contrast to other habitats (gallery forest, bamboo, sugar cane crops and pastures), retain 93% of the total diversity, demonstrating its importance in conservation and maintenance of regional diversity of the tropical dry forest.
Abstract (es):
Con base en la revisión del material depositado en el Museo de Entomología de la Universidad del Valle (MUSENUV) (Cali, Colombia) y en la búsqueda exhaustiva de la literatura que ha sido publicada por el grupo de Biología, Ecología y Manejo de Hormigas de la Universidad del Valle durante los últimos 15 años, se presenta el listado actualizado de las especies de hormigas que habitan el Bosque seco Tropical (Bs-T) del valle geográfico del río Cauca. Se implementaron diversos métodos de colecta (captura directa, trampas de caída, atracción a cebos de atún y procesamiento de hojarasca en sacos Winkler), en 13 fragmentos de bosque y sus hábitats aledaños, donde se reportan 215 especies de hormigas representadas por 63 géneros y 12 subfamilias. Los fragmentos de bosque, en contraste con otros hábitats (bosque de galería, guaduales, guadua, cultivos de caña de azúcar y potreros), conservan el 93% de la riqueza total, lo que demuestra su importancia en la conservación y mantenimiento de la diversidad regional de hormigas del bosque seco tropical.
