Abstract

Formicidae fauna has been thoroughly studied in many regions around the world because ants are an important component of ecosystems. Nonetheless, some areas especially in the northern part of Asia-Pacific region remain underexplored. Here we turned to a hard-to-reach terrain: the Poronaysky Nature Reserve (Sakhalin Island), which is protected against human activity by the government. In the summer of 2022, we collected 594 ants on two local routes near coastal areas. Ants were collected using both manual sampling and traps containing sugar syrup. Ant diversity proved to be represented by 14 species from five genera belonging two subfamilies: Formicinae and Myrmicinae. We report three species that have not been previously found on Sakhalin Island, which are Formica polyctena Foerster, 1850, F. pratensis Retzius, 1783, and F. pressilabris Nylander, 1846, as well as two species not previously found in the reserve: Lasius niger (Linnaeus, 1758) and Myrmica ruginodis Nylander, 1846. We noted that Camponotus herculeanus (Linnaeus, 1758) had the first rank in prevalence across the studied area. The current state of ant diversity is 36 species of five genera for Sakhalin Island and 16 species of five genera for the Poronaysky Nature Reserve.

库页岛蚂蚁（膜翅目，蚁科）区系研究——以波罗纳斯基自然保护区为例

由于蚂蚁是生态系统的重要组成部分，世界上许多地区对蚁科动物群进行了深入的研究。然而，一些地区，特别是亚太地区北部地区，仍未得到充分开发。在这里，我们转向了一个难以到达的地方：波罗纳斯基自然保护区（库页岛），这里受到政府的保护，不受人类活动的影响。在2022年夏天，我们在靠近沿海地区的两条当地路线上收集了594只蚂蚁。采集蚂蚁的方法包括人工取样和含有糖浆的陷阱。蚂蚁的多样性由蚁亚科和蚁亚科5属14种组成。报告了库页岛未发现的3个物种（Formica polyctena Foerster, 1850）、F. pratensis Retzius， 1783和F. pressilabris Nylander, 1846)和2个保护区未发现的物种（Lasius niger （Linnaeus, 1758）和Myrmica ruginodis Nylander， 1846）。我们注意到Camponotus herculleanus （Linnaeus, 1758）在整个研究区域的流行率排名第一。目前，库页岛的蚂蚁多样性为5属36种，波罗纳斯基自然保护区的蚂蚁多样性为5属16种。
