Abstract

Mutualistic interaction between aphids and ants is one of the classical examples of mutualism. The current study was carried out during 2013-2014 in Golestan province, North-eastern Iran, to investigate the myrmecophilous aphids and their relationships with ants. In this study, 11 ant species representing seven genera and two subfamilies associated with 12 aphid species belonging to two subfamilies were collected on different host plants. Among aphid species, Aphis gossypii Glover 1877 and A. craccivora Koch 1854 were observed frequently associated with ants, while among ant species, Crematogaster subdentata Mayr 1877 and Plagiolepis taurica Santschi 1920 had more frequent interactions with aphids. Moreover, except Formica persica, all ant species were reported for the first time from Golestan province. More detailed studies are needed to investigate aphid–ant mutualistic relationships in Iran to understand their complicated relationships in nature.
伊朗戈勒斯坦省与蚜虫(半翅目:蚜虫科)相关的共生蚂蚁(膜翅目:蚁科
蚜虫和蚂蚁之间的互惠互动是互惠主义的经典例子之一。目前的研究于2013-2014年在伊朗东北部的Golestan省进行,目的是调查嗜金蝇蚜虫及其与蚂蚁的关系。本研究在不同寄主植物上采集了2个亚科7属11种蚂蚁和2个亚科12种蚜虫。在蚜虫种类中,棉蚜(Aphis gossypii Glover 1877)和A. craccivora Koch 1854与蚂蚁的互动频率较高,而在蚂蚁种类中,Crematogaster subdentata Mayr 1877和Plagiolepis taurica Santschi 1920与蚜虫的互动频率较高。除美洲蚁外,其余蚁种均为首次在哥列斯坦省发现。需要对伊朗蚜虫与蚂蚁的共生关系进行更详细的研究,以了解它们在自然界中的复杂关系。
