Resumo
En este artículo se propone introducir algunos aspectos relevantes de la historia natural de las hormigas y los posibles vínculos que se pueden hacer en un contexto transdisciplinario de concienciación ecológica. De este grupo de insectos, es posible generalizar y luego extender conclusiones ecológicas para otros grupos taxonómicos, establecendo los conceptos básicos acerca de los servicios ecosistémicos desempeñados por las diversas formas de vida de nuestro entorno - y más a menudo se oculta al ojo humano. A pesar de la excepcional cantidad de información disponible actualmente, sobre todo debido a la revolución de los medios de comunicación, la falta de integración que aclare conceptos y universalidad del conocimiento sigue siendo un desafío contemporáneo. Basándome en conceptos ecológicos para presentar la vida social de las hormigas, invoco pasajes de la literatura brasileña como una propuesta de un enfoque integrador para manifestarse en una reflexión ecológica sobre nuestro papel en el manejo y conservación de la biodiversidad brasileña.
The purpose of this paper is to present some relevant aspects of the natural history of ants, and the possible links that can be made in a transdisciplinary ecological approach. Highlighting the ecosystem services played by this group of insects, it is possible to generalize and then extend ecological conclusions to other taxonomic groups, by stablishing fundamental concepts about the ecosystem services played by the variety of life around us – that in most cases are hidden from human eyes. Despite the exceptional volume of information available today, mainly because of the media revolution, the lack of integrations that clarify concepts and universalities of knowledge is still a contemporary challenge. Based in ecological concepts to introduce the social life of antes, I invoke excerpts from Brazilian literature as a proposal to an integrative approach that triggers an eco-reflection on our role in the management and conservation of Brazilian biodiversity.
