Abstract
We report on the occurrence of the ant Leptothorax kutteri Buschinger, 1965 in two sites in Northern and Eastern Turkey. Leptothorax kutteri is a workerless inquiline living in the colonies of L. acervorum (Fabricius, 1793) so far known from various parts of Northern and Central Europe. Our findings greatly increase the range of this small and rare ant.
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.
