Digging Deeper Into the Ecology of Subterranean Ants: Diversity and Niche Partitioning Across Two Continents
diversity Article Digging Deeper into the Ecology of Subterranean Ants: Diversity and Niche Partitioning across Two Continents Mickal Houadria * and Florian Menzel Institute of Organismic and Molecular Evolution, Johannes-Gutenberg-University Mainz, Hanns-Dieter-Hüsch-Weg 15, 55128 Mainz, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Soil fauna is generally understudied compared to above-ground arthropods, and ants are no exception. Here, we compared a primary and a secondary forest each on two continents using four different sampling methods. Winkler sampling, pitfalls, and four types of above- and below-ground baits (dead, crushed insects; melezitose; living termites; living mealworms/grasshoppers) were applied on four plots (4 × 4 grid points) on each site. Although less diverse than Winkler samples and pitfalls, subterranean baits provided a remarkable ant community. Our baiting system provided a large dataset to systematically quantify strata and dietary specialisation in tropical rainforest ants. Compared to above-ground baits, 10–28% of the species at subterranean baits were overall more common (or unique to) below ground, indicating a fauna that was truly specialised to this stratum. Species turnover was particularly high in the primary forests, both concerning above-ground and subterranean baits and between grid points within a site. This suggests that secondary forests are more impoverished, especially concerning their subterranean fauna. Although subterranean ants rarely displayed specific preferences for a bait type, they were in general more specialised than above-ground ants; this was true for entire communities, but also for the same species if they foraged in both strata.

Forty seven new records for the country are registered here, all in the subfamily Myrmicinae: one new species record for the genera Adelomyrmex, Allomerus, Kempfidris, Megalomyrmex, Octostruma and Tranopelta; two for Rogeria; five for Myrmicocrypta; six for Procryptocerus; seven for Cephalotes; ten for Pheidole and eleven for Strumigenys. Three of these new records are invasive or tramp species, Pheidole indica, Strumigenys emmae, and Strumigenys membranifera. Three species are also recorded for the first time in South America: Pheidole sicaria, Procryptocerus tortuguero, and Strumigenys manis. The ant genus Kempfidris is recorded for the first time for Colombia. All species are commented. Currently, the diversity of ants in Colombia approaches 1,200 known species in 105 genera.

Phylogeny and Biogeography of a Hyperdiverse Ant Clade (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Abstract. This study investigates the evolutionary history of a hyperdiverse clade, the ant subfamily Myrmicinae (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), based on analyses of a data matrix comprising 251 species and 11 nuclear gene fragments. Under both maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods of inference, we recover a robust phylogeny that reveals six major clades of Myrmicinae, here treated as newly defined tribes and occur- ring as a pectinate series: Myrmicini, Pogonomyrmecini trib.n., Stenammini, Solenop- sidini, Attini and Crematogastrini. Because we condense the former 25 myrmicine tribes into a new six-tribe scheme, membership in some tribes is now notably different, espe- cially regarding Attini. We demonstrate that the monotypic genus Ankylomyrma is nei- ther in the Myrmicinae nor even a member of the more inclusive formicoid clade – rather it is a poneroid ant, sister to the genus Tatuidris (Agroecomyrmecinae). -

Here, the temporal dynamics of the Otongachi leaf litter ant community, occurring in a cloud forest in coastal Ecuador, were explored. By sampling this community six times over eleven Keywords: years, I assessed how the ant fauna caught by Winkler traps (more diverse and cryptic fauna) and caught Andes cloud forests Monitoring by pitfall traps (larger, more mobile fauna) changed over time. The Otongachi leaf litter ant community Otongachi was dynamic. Although species richness in the community remained constant, temporal turnover of Rank abundance species was high: on average, 51% of the ant species in Winkler traps, and 56% of those in pitfall traps, Temporal turnover were replaced with other ant species from one year to the other. -

VIII: Myrmicinae, partim) By Cesare Baroni Urbani, Basel With 12 Figures Summary Pheidole primigenia n. sp. is described from Dominican amber. The new species is similar to another Dominican amber species: Pheidole tethepa Wilson. This latter species has been re- examined and re-described. The two Dominican Pheidole appear to be closely related to each other but show no clear relationships to any Neotropical members of the genus. Their nearest relatives are a few Recent species restricted to the Malayan, Australian and Oceanian regions. This is regarded as an evident new example for the presence of Old World elements in the Dominican amber fauna, a biogeographic aspect vi^hich cannot be neglected. A previously established biogeographic analysis of the West Indian ants in which this fact had been omitted (Wilson 1985, 1988) is re-examined and its conclusions are shown to be untenable: Old World ant genera present on Hispaniola show no evidence either of dispersal or of survival capacities greater than Neotropical ones. -
