Richness of ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in the Sanga Caramuru basin, Chapecó, SC
The present study aimed to elucidate the richness of ant fauna associated with the micro basin of Sanga Caramuru in the town of Chapecó that represents one of the principal tributaries of the São José dam. A total of 21 biweekly collections were made from June 2006 until May 2007, using Pit-fall tra...

| description | The present study aimed to elucidate the richness of ant fauna associated with the micro basin of Sanga Caramuru in the town of Chapecó that represents one of the principal tributaries of the São José dam. A total of 21 biweekly collections were made from June 2006 until May 2007, using Pit-fall traps. Analyzes of the data were carried out by the EstimateS statistics program (Colwell). A total of 676 registers of species were obtained through the traps. The richness obtained was 51 species distributed in 18 genera grouped in seven subfamilies. The richness estimated through the estimator Chao 2 was 61.6 species for the area of native forest, 42.3 species for the area of marsh, and 39.8 species for the area with eucalyptus. The Shannon and Wiener index obtained was 3.2 for the three sampled areas. The greater diversity estimated for the area with native forest coincided with the greater diversity also observed. Although the human impacts are easily evidenced in the studied area, the small fragments of areas with vegetation offer adequate resources for the maintenance of significant ant fauna. |
