摘要

我们提供的证据表明，Camponotus chilensis（Spinola）会光顾拉达尔树（Lomatia hirsuta Diels ex J.F.Macbr.）的花朵，可能是阿根廷安第斯巴塔哥尼亚森林中这种重要的山茶科树木的授粉者。我们发现有几只蚂蚁工蚁在开花季节从不同的树上运输花粉。蚁工运送的花粉数量不一，有些蚁工身上还沾满了花粉粒。这是首次观察到蚂蚁在这种植物的花朵上活动，也是新热带地区首次发现由蚂蚁授粉的树木。这篇论文强调了自然历史数据在蚂蚁授粉这一新兴研究领域的重要性。

The first record of ants as potential pollinators of a Neotropical tree species (Lomatia hirsuta Diels ex J.F.Macbr., Proteaceae)

We provide evidence that Camponotus chilensis (Spinola) visit flowers of the Radal tree (Lomatia hirsuta Diels ex J.F.Macbr.), possibly acting as pollinators of this important tree of the Proteaceae family in the Andean Patagonian forests of Argentina. We found several ant workers transporting pollen from different trees during the blooming season. Pollen transported by workers varied in amount, with some individuals observed fully coated with pollen grains. This note constitutes the first observation of ant activity on the flowers of this plant species and also the first potential example of a tree pollinated by ants in the Neotropics. This note highlights the importance of natural history data in the emergent study field of ant‐pollination.
