| description | The effect of land use on ants was compared in Tikinmul, Campeche, Mexico. The research was carried out in cedar monocultures and home gardens, during dry and wet seasons. TSBFmethod modified to agroforestry systems was used to collect ants. 37 species were collected, nine of which were exclusive to both systems, while 19 were present in both systems. A similarity (Sörensen index) of 60.4% between systems and 68% between seasons was observed. The Myrmecinae Subfamily with eight genera and 17 species was the most represented. Solenopsis geminata and Dorymyrmex sp. were dominant and indicator species of monoculture system. Ant density was higher in monocultures. A direct relationship between management intensity and species richness was not found. Litter amount appear to be the determinant factor to define ants abundance. Ants populations were affected indirectly by agrochemicals. |

El estudio se llevó a cabo en monocultivos de cedro y huertos caseros, durante la época seca y lluviosa. Para la colecta de especies se utilizó el método Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility (TSBF) modificado para sistemas agroforestales. Se encontraron un total de 37 morfoespecies, de las cuales nueve son exclusivas de cada uno de los dos sistemas, mientras 19 están presentes en ambos. Se observa una similitud (Sörensen) de 60.4% entre sistemas y 68% entre épocas. La subfamilia Myrmicinae con 8 géneros y 17 especies fue la mejor representada en el estudio. Solenopsis geminata y Dorymyrmex sp.fueron especies dominantes e indicadoras del monocultivo. La densidad de hormigas fue más alta en los monocultivos. No se encontró relación directa de la intensidad de manejo con la riqueza de especies. La cantidad de hojarasca se muestra como el factor determinante de abundancia de las hormigas. Los agroquímicos afectan de manera indirecta a sus poblaciones.
