Resumen
LARA-VILLALON, Manuel; ROSAS-MEJIA, Madai; ROJAS-FERNANDEZ, Patricia y REYES-CASTILLO, Pedro. Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) associated with the camedor palm (Chamedorea radicalis Mart.) in the tropical forest of Gómez Farías, Tamaulipas, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2015, vol.31, n.2, pp.270-274. ISSN 2448-8445.
Ant's diversity associated to an agroforestry Chamaedora radicalis Mart., palm culture has not been studied in El Cielo Biosphere Reserve's Tropical Forest. Ants were collected from the palm fronds, using an entomological net the following species during two seasons: Odontomachus laticeps, Crematogaster cerasi, Camponotus atriceps, Temnothorax texanus, Tapinoma sp., y Pheidole arctos, weth season. Wasmannia auropuntata, Camponotus atriceps, Monomorium floricola, Pheidole arctos y Solenopsis geminate, dry season. Species previously recorded by other authors for RBEC are compared. Overall genera found are agro ecosystem colonizers, their food habits are foraging, hunters, nectar collectors, seed, and dead animal debris. Organism knowledge associated to camedor palm and its environment will allow establishing an integrated pest management for this important bioresource sustainability.
