Abstract (en):
This article describes the database of the ant fauna associated with orange crops on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. The study was carried in the departments of Bolivar, Cordoba, Cesar and Magdalena, in crops of 38 farms in 13 municipalities. In all cultivations, the ants were collected by transects of 50m each with five sampling stations separated by 10 m, at each one three sets of sampling techniques were applied: direct capture (manual), pitfall traps and Winkler sacks. A total of 3119 samples were obtained, distributed into eight subfamilies, 44 genera and 122 species. As expected Myrmicinae subfamily was the one that presented the highest richness (65 species) and capture rate (63,45%). The two most frequent were Ectatomma ruidum and Crematogaster abstinens appearance with a percentage of 13,34% and 8,62% respectively. The database reflects a great diversity in orange crops with a large presence of groups considered important as biological controls including hunting ants and cryptic myrmicines.
Abstract (es):
Se describe la base de datos de las hormigas asociadas a cultivos de naranja de la costa Caribe de Colombia. El estudio se llevó a cabo en cultivos ubicados en los departamentos de Bolívar, Córdoba, César y Magdalena, donde se visitaron 38 fincas discriminadas en 13 municipios. Para la recolecta de las muestras, en cada huerto se trazaron tres transectos de 50 m. En cada transecto se establecieron cinco estaciones de muestreo separadas por 10 m, en cada estación se aplicaron tres juegos de técnicas de muestreo: captura directa (manual), trampas de caída y sacos Winlker. Se obtuvieron 3119 muestras, distribuidas en ocho subfamilias, 44 géneros y 122 especies. Como era de esperar la subfamilia Myrmicinae presentó la mayor riqueza (65 especies) y frecuencia de captura (63,45%). Las dos especies más frecuentes fueron Ectatomma ruidum y Crematogaster abstinens, con un porcentaje de aparición de 13,34% y 8,62%, respectivamente. La base de datos refleja una gran diversidad en los cultivos de naranja con una gran presencia de grupos considerados importantes controladores biológicos como lo son las hormigas cazadoras y las mirmícinas cripticas.
