These introduced species are called as non-native, exotic, invasive or tramp species. Here we record the well-known tramp species Tetramorium lanuginosum Mayr, for the first time from Turkey (Antalya-Alanya), and present first locality records for Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille) from Antalya- Alanya and Adana. Thus, the number of tramp ant species of Turkey is increased to 19. Key words: Tramp species, new record, Northeastern Mediterranean, Antalya-Alanya. Özet: Turizm, gelişmiş ulaşım ve artan ticaret gibi insan faaliyetleri faunal elemanların dağılım alanları dışındaki habitatlara taşınmasına neden olmakta ve dolayısıyla yerli faunayı etkilemektedir. Bu faaliyetlerle taşınan organizmalar yerli olmayan, egzotik, istilacı veya tramp türler olarak adlandırılır. Bu çalışmada, çok iyi bilinen tramp karınca türü olan Tetramorium lanuginosum Mayr’u Türkiye’den (Antalya-Alanya) ilk defa kayıt edilmekte ve Paratrechina longicornis (Latreille)’e ait ilk lokalite kayıtları ise Antalya-Alanya ve Adana’dan verilmektedir.

  • Systematics and Community Composition of Foraging
    J. Sci. Univ. Kelaniya 7 (2012): 55-72 OCCURRENCE AND SPECIES DIVERSITY OF GROUND-DWELLING WORKER ANTS (FAMILY: FORMICIDAE) IN SELECTED LANDS IN THE DRY ZONE OF SRI LANKA R. K. SRIYANI DIAS AND K. R. K. ANURADHA KOSGAMAGE Department of Zoology, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka ABSTRACT Ants are an essential biotic component in terrestrial ecosystems in Sri Lanka. Worker ants were surveyed in six forests, uncultivated lands and, vegetable and fruit fields in two Districts of the dry zone, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, from November, 2007 to October, 2008 by employing several sampling methods simultaneously along five, 100 m transects. Soil sifting, litter sifting, honey-baiting and hand collection were carried out at 5 m intervals along each transect. Twenty pitfall traps were set up throughout each site and collected after five hours. Air and soil temperatures, soil pH and soil moisture at each transect were also recorded. Use of several sampling methods yielded a higher value for species richness than just one or two methods; values for each land ranged from 19 – 43 species. Each land had its own ant community and members of Amblyoponinae, Cerapachyinae, Dorylinae, Leptanillinae and Pseudomyrmecinae were recorded for the first time from the dry zone. Previous records of 40 species belonging to 23 genera in 5 subfamilies for the Anuradhapura District are updated to 78 species belonging to 36 genera in 6 subfamilies. Seventy species belonging to thirty one genera in 9 subfamilies recorded from the first survey of ants in Polonnaruwa lands can be considered a preliminary inventory of the District; current findings updated the ant species recorded from the dry zone to 92 of 42 genera in 10 subfamilies.

Introduction and Background on Proposed Action This biological assessment (BA) has been prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to evaluate the potential effects on federally-listed threatened and endangered species and designated critical habitat from the movement of baled garbage and regulated (domestic) garbage (GRG) from the State of Hawaii for disposal at landfills in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. Specifically, garbage is defined as urban (commercial and residential) solid waste from municipalities in Hawaii, excluding incinerator ash and collections of agricultural waste and yard waste. Regulated (domestic) garbage refers to articles generated in Hawaii that are restricted from movement to the continental United States under various quarantine regulations established to prevent the spread of plant pests (including insects, disease, and weeds) into areas where the pests are not prevalent.

  • Agonistic Interactions of Four Ant Species Occurring in Hawaii with Coptotermes Formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) by Ranit Kirschenbaum1 & J
    643 Agonistic Interactions of Four Ant Species Occurring in Hawaii with Coptotermes formosanus (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) by Ranit Kirschenbaum1 & J. Kenneth Grace1 ABSTRACT Of the ca. 44 ant species known to occur in Hawaii, there has been limited research on Leptogenys falcigera Roger, Camponotus variegatus Smith, Ano- plolepis gracilipes Smith, and Wasmannia auropunctata Roger; all of which were recorded as adventive species in Hawaii as early as the late 1800s to as recently as 1999. In laboratory assays, we assessed agonistic interactions of these ant species with the Formosan subterranean termite, Coptotermes for- mosanus Shiraki, another extremely invasive social insect. These assays provide information on ecological interactions and the invasive biology of these four ants. We used a rating system based on the first two behavioral responses of the two insects paired in each bioassay. Following published methods, the rating system was as follows: avoidance (-1), no response (0), and aggression (+1). Of the four ant species used in this study, W. auropunctata demonstrated greater aggression towards C. formosanus than the other ants. Coptotermes formosanus, in turn, showed less aggressive behavior towards W. auropunctata than towards L. falcigera and C. variegatus. Wasmannia auropunctata is the most recently introduced ant species in Hawaii, and may demonstrate more interspecific aggression, but may not be recognized by or elicit an aggressive response from C. formosanus. INTRODUCTION Of the 44 ant species known to occur in Hawaii (Wilson & Taylor 1967, Reimer et al. 1990, Krushelnycky et al. 2005), there has been limited research on the invasive species Leptogenys falcigera Roger (sickle-tooth ant), Cam- ponotus variegatus Smith (Hawaiian carpenter ant), Anoplolepis gracilipes 1Dept.

Laos is one of the most undersampled areas for ant biodiversity. We begin to address this knowledge gap by presenting the first checklist of Laotian ants. The list is based on a literature review and on specimens col- lected from several localities in Laos. In total, 123 species with three additional subspecies in 47 genera belonging to nine subfamilies are listed, including 62 species recorded for the first time in the country. Comparisons with neighboring countries suggest that this list is still very incomplete. The provincial distribu- tion of ants within Laos also show that most species recorded are from Vien- tiane Province, the central part of Laos while the majority of other provinces have received very little, if any, ant sampling.
