Abstract

Red wood ants are ecologically dominant species that affect the composition of the invertebrate community. In the past century, one of these species, Formica paralugubris (Seifert 1996), was introduced outside its native area (the Alps), in the Apennines (Italy). Here we investigated the effect of the presence of an introduced population of F. paralugubris on the frequency of nests of other ant species in Abetone, Central Apennines. Ant nests were found only in the area unoccupied by F. paralugubris. In this area, we also found one pleometrotic association between queens of Lasius flavus (Fabricius, 1782) and two plesiobiotic associations, one between Formica fusca (Linnaeus, 1758) and L. flavus and the other one between Myrmica ruginodis (Nylander, 1846) and L. flavus. This latter is the first plesiobiotic relationship reported between these two species, the second reported for M. ruginodis and the 10th for L. flavus. Additionally, this is the first plesiobiotic association reported for the Mediterranean region and Southern Europe.

引种红木蚁对蚁巢频率的影响及金蚁(Nylander, 1846)与黄蚁(fabicius, 1782)之间的第一次蛇生源关联
红木蚁是影响无脊椎动物群落组成的生态优势物种。在过去的一个世纪里,这些物种中的一种,副树胶Formica paralugubris(Seifert 1996),被引入其本土(阿尔卑斯山)以外的亚平宁山脉(意大利)。在这里,我们研究了引入的副齿蚁种群对亚平宁中部阿贝通其他蚂蚁筑巢频率的影响。蚂蚁的巢穴只在金合欢未占据的区域被发现。在这一区域,我们还发现了一个Lasius flavus女王(Fabricius,1782)和两个蛇颈动物协会,一个在Formica fusca(Linnaeus,1758)和L.flavus之间,另一个在Myrmica rugnodis(Nylander,1846)和L.flavus之间。后者是这两个物种之间首次报道的蛇颈动物关系,第二个报道的是M.rugnodis,第十个报道的则是L.flavus。此外,这是地中海地区和南欧报告的第一个蛇颈动物协会。

期刊介绍: SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes high quality articles that significantly contribute to the knowledge of Entomology, with emphasis on social insects. Articles previously submitted to other journals are not accepted. SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes original research papers and invited review articles on all aspects related to the biology, evolution and systematics of social and pre-social insects (Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasps). The journal is currently expanding its scope to incorporate the publication of articles dealing with other arthropods that exhibit sociality. Articles may cover a range of subjects such as ecology, ethology, morphology, population genetics, physiology, toxicology, reproduction, sociobiology, caste differentiation as well as economic impact and pest management.
