摘要
我们首次记录了厄瓜多尔的 Camponotus textor Forel, 1899(膜翅目,蚁科),这是安第斯山脉以西的首次记录。我们探索了如何利用 iNaturalist 和科学收集的参与式科学数据来了解 C. textor 的分布情况。虽然由于需要精确的形态计量数据,仅靠 iNaturalist 数据无法确定 C. textor 的存在,但它可以成为评估该物种潜在分布的宝贵工具。这项研究使厄瓜多尔已知的蚂蚁物种增加到 826 种,Camponotus 至少增加到 61 种。在区分 C. textor 和 C. senex 时遇到的挑战使我们无法确定 C. textor 的原生地位,并突出了进一步研究厄瓜多尔 Camponotus 的必要性。
First record of Camponotus textor Forel, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Ecuador
We present the first records of Camponotus textor Forel, 1899 (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) from Ecuador, representing the first records from west of the Andes. We explore the use of participatory science data from iNaturalist and scientific collections to understand the distribution of C. textor. While iNaturalist data alone cannot confirm the presence of C. textor due to the need for precise morphometric data, it can be a valuable tool for assessing the species’ potential distribution. This study increases Ecuador’s known ant species to 826 and Camponotus species to at least 61. Challenges in distinguishing C. textor and C. senex prevent us from determining C. textor’s native status and highlight the need for further research on Camponotus in Ecuador.
