Abstract: Several studies have characterized and delimited subterranean ant assemblages. Soil extraction, one of the methods employed to access this fauna, employs removal monoliths. One most widely used for extraction soil sampling is called TSBF (developed by Tropical Biology Fertility Programme). This method provides relevant data about species associated with soil. In present study we assemblages ants using in different subtropical areas Neotropics. We considered two designs localities....
This study provides a list of the ground-dwelling ant species in Nhecolândia, Pantanal, Mato Grosso Sul, Brazil. The Pantanal is largest tropical wetland world and currently under strong anthropic pressure. Ground-dwelling ants were collected three sites: (1) forest regeneration area; (2) pasture (3) an area secondary native vegetation. In each site, 120 samples using pitfall traps dry rainy seasons 2016. Additional samplings performed with Winkler extractors (30 leaf-litter samples)...
Pheidole acutidens is a social parasite of the congeneric species P. nitidula. Since its description, was considered native to Argentina. In this paper we report first records for Brazil from southern states Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul). These extend known distribution at least 1,000 km north. We suggest that scarce representation in entomological collections due peculiar reproductive strategy, which renders inconspicuous limits dispersion
