Abstract

We conducted an ant inventory in urban and suburban spaces in Bejaia city to deal with this need for more information about ant biodiversity in the Algerian urban environment. The two methods, hand collecting and pitfall traps, are carried out 24 days in three months (May, June, and July) of 2022. In the urban habitats, 2,653 ant individuals were collected, comprising ten species, six genera and three subfamilies. In the suburban habitats, 6,706 ant specimens were collected, comprising 19 species, 11 genera, and three subfamilies. The most abundant subfamilies in both urban and suburban habitats are Formicinae, followed by Myrmicinae and Dolichoderinae. The results showed that suburban habitats are more diversified (H’= 1.72) than urban habitats (H’= 1.25). The equitability values for suburban and urban habitats are moderate, with 0.58 and 0.54, respectively. The Jaccard similarity index value is 0.45, indicating an essential turnover of ant species between urban and suburban habitats. The ant community’s composition differed between sampled sites (NMDS, Stress = 0.013). The average dissimilarity (as per SIMPER) was 90.37%. Four species (T. simrothi, L. cf. grandis, P. cicatricosa, and L. myops) contributed to 70% of the differences between sites of urban and suburban habitats.

贝贾亚市（阿尔及利亚）城市和郊区环境中蚂蚁的多样性和物种组成

为了满足对阿尔及利亚城市环境中蚂蚁生物多样性更多信息的需求，我们在贝贾亚市的城市和郊区空间进行了一次蚂蚁清查。在 2022 年的三个月（5 月、6 月和 7 月）里，我们采用了手工采集和陷阱捕捉两种方法，共进行了 24 天。在城市栖息地，共收集到 2 653 只蚂蚁，包括 10 个种、6 个属和 3 个亚科。在郊区栖息地，共采集到 6 706 只蚂蚁标本，包括 19 种、11 属和 3 个亚科。城市和郊区栖息地中最多的亚科都是蚁亚科，其次是蚁属和蚁亚科。结果表明，郊区栖息地的多样性（H'= 1.72）高于城市栖息地（H'= 1.25）。郊区和城市栖息地的等度值分别为 0.58 和 0.54，属于中等水平。Jaccard 相似性指数值为 0.45，表明蚂蚁物种在城市和郊区栖息地之间有基本的更替。不同采样地点的蚂蚁群落组成存在差异（NMDS，Stress = 0.013）。平均差异率（根据 SIMPER）为 90.37%。四个物种（T. simrothi、L. cf. grandis、P. cicatricosa 和 L. myops）占城市和郊区栖息地之间差异的 70%。

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.
