Estudio de la fauna mirmecológica del Parc Natural dels Aiguamolls de l'Empordà realizado los años 2008, 2014 y 2019.

Soil and changes in vegetation may affect ant assemblages, but the relative importance of each in different habitats is not well characterized. In particular, information on the effects of ecological restoration on arthropods is scarce. It was decided, therefore, to study how reforestation may affect an ant assemblage. Ants were sampled in area tha...

¿Es importante el diámetro de las trampas de caída cuando se estudia una comunidad de hormigas? Cuando vamos a estudiar un ecosistema, si queremos utilizar trampas de caída, pensamos en el tipo y número de trampas, en el tiempo que éstas van a estar activas y en el lugar donde las vamos a colocar. Si buscamos facilidad de manejo, obviamente son mej...

El creciente interés por el medio ambiente y su conservación ha llevado al aumento de trabajos sobre biodiversidad. Desde el punto de vista mirmecológico, esta tendencia está proporcionando nuevos datos a nivel mundial, situándose la península ibérica como el territorio europeo con mayor biodiversidad de formícidos. El aumento de trabajos en la pen...

Basic data of the 15 sampled plots and abundances of animal species: burnt logging (L1 to L5), burnt subsoiling (S1 to S5) and unburnt (U1 to U5); Data: species included (Y) and excluded (N) in statistical anal...

Fire is a major agent involved in landscape transformation and an indirect cause of changes in species composition. Responses to fire may vary greatly depending on life histories and functional traits of species. We have examined the taxonomic and functional responses to fire of eight taxonomic animal groups displaying a gradient of dietary and mob...

Laboulbeniales (Fungi) are an infrequent find when growing on ants. We report a new host (Lasius neglectus) for Laboulbenia formicarum, which is also a new mycological addition for continental Europe. Heavily infested ants were foraging normally on Tamarix gallica (salt cedar trees) planted along a seaside walk in North-East Spain. The infestation...
