Abstract

ABSTRACT Ant communities are sensitive to fragmentation responding through: extinction of specialist species compared with large habitats, invasion of generalist species, changes in community composition and richness of species. Because of these characteristics, this review aims at examining the main risks that ants have been facing to maintain their communities, as well as to report current conservation practices in Brazil and in the world.RESUMO Comunidades de formigas são sensíveis à fragmentação e respondem por meio: da extinção de espécies especialistas comparadas com grandes habitats, invasão de espécies generalistas, mudanças na composição da comunidade e na riqueza de espécies. Por causa dessas características, esta revisão pretende descrever os principais riscos que as formigas têm enfrentado para manter suas comunidades, como também descrever práticas atuais no Brasil e no mundo.
