Se estudió la diversidad de hormigas de La Cantera Oriente, una zona restaurada de la Reserva Ecológica del Pedregal de San Ángel en la Ciudad de México con el objetivo de conocer dicha diversidad en dos zonas y durante la temporada de lluvia y sequía, además de comparar esta diversidad con la de una zona conservada de la misma reserva. Para llevarlo a cabo, se midió la riqueza y abundancia de las hormigas en cada zona y temporada, además correlacionamos las medidas de diversidad con la estructura de la superficie del suelo y con la estructura vertical de la vegetación. Finalmente calculamos el índice de Sorensen para comparar la riqueza de La Cantera y de la de una zona conservada de la reserva. Encontramos diez especies de hormigas, las especies más abundantes fueron Monomorium minimum Buckley, 1866 y Paratrechina longicornis Latreille, 1802. Aunque en la temporada seca se presentó mayor abundancia, riqueza y diversidad, no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre sitios o temporadas para estas variables. Únicamente la abundancia se correlacionó con la proporción de pasto durante la temporada de lluvia. Siete especies de La Cantera Oriente se comparten con las de una zona conservada de la reserva. Concluimos que la diversidad de hormigas de La Cantera Oriente no es afectada por los cambios espaciales y temporales de este lugar. La similitud entre las especies de la zona conservada de la Reserva y las de La Cantera es muy baja, lo que podría asociarse al alto grado de perturbación que tuvo esta última.References
