Distribution of ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in the agrolandscape of Northwestern Russia

| Summary: | The agrolandscape in Northwestern Russia (fields and field borders, forest edges and separate forest plots) include 12 species of ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae), which belong to four genera. On the fields of different farm crops, we have collected 8 different ant species. Myrmica rubra and Lasius niger are the basic species on the fields. These are eurytopic species, capable of building nests in the ground. M. rubra and L. niger are much rarer on the cultivated lands than on the surrounding biotopes – field borders and forest edges. В агроландшафте на Северо-Западе России (на полях и их обочинах, опушках лесов и отдельных участках леса) отмечено 12 видов муравьев (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) из 4 родов. На полях различных сельскохозяйственных культур собрано 8 видов муравьев. Основу комплекса полевых видов составляют Myrmica rubra и Lasius niger – эвритопные виды, способные строить гнезда в земле. Обилие M. rubra и L. niger на возделываемых землях значительно ниже, чем в окружающих биотопах – на обочинах полей и опушках лесов. |
