摘要

在蚂蚁中，共生关系被定义为偶尔或定期在邻近的异种群体中筑巢，没有任何生物上的相互依存关系。可筑巢微生境的稀缺和所涉及物种之间的生态差异被认为有利于幼巢生物的发生频率。本文对全北极地区的生态生态物种对进行了综述，共列出了48对生态生态物种对。根据我们在地中海西西里岛(意大利)的实地调查，我们能够报告额外的81种生态蚁对，3种蚂蚁的2种关联，以及4种蚁白蚁对关联。我们认为，至少在地中海地区，这种病被严重低估而不是罕见。

Plesiobiotic Associations Between Ants: A Common Yet Underreported Phenomenon in the Mediterranean Region?

Among ants, plesiobiotic associations are defined as occasional or regular nesting of heterospecific colonies in close proximity and without any biological interdependence. Habitats with a scarcity of available nesting microhabitats and ecological dissimilarity between the involved species are supposed to favor the frequency of plesiobiosis. In the last review published on this topic, the authors summarized all the plesiobiotic species pairs reported in the literature for the Holarctic region, listing 48 species pairs. On the basis of our field investigation in the Mediterranean island of Sicily (Italy), we are able to report additional 81 plesiobiotic ant-ant species pairs, two associations of three ant species, and four ant-termite pair associations. We suggest plesiobiosis to be severely underreported rather than rare, at least in the Mediterranean region.

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.
