摘要

我们通过比较北部大陆气候地区（艾米利亚-罗马涅）和南部地中海气候地区（西西里岛）的两个果园，调查了意大利梨树上蚂蚁群落的多样性。总的来说，我们确定了20种蚂蚁，隶属于3亚科10属。这两个地点的蚂蚁群落在生物地理学方面看起来明显不同，但它们的功能组成相似。此外，我们发现地面和树上筑巢物种的丰富度与树干周长呈正相关。特别是，树栖筑巢物种仅限于枯木丰富的中大树。一些被检测到的蚂蚁物种可能有助于害虫控制策略，人工巢穴可能被认为可以吸引枯木贫乏的树上的树栖筑巢物种。关键词：树栖蚂蚁，蚁学，西西里岛，艾米利亚-罗马涅。

TRUNK SIZE INFLUENCES SPECIES RICHNESS AND FUNCTIONAL COMPOSITION OF BIOGEOGRAPHICALLY DIFFERENT TREE-VISITING ANT COMMUNITIES IN PEAR ORCHARDS

We investigated the diversity of ant assemblages visiting pear trees in Italy by comparing two orchards from a northern region with continental climate (Emilia-Romagna) and a southern region with Mediterranean climate (Sicily). Overall we identified 20 ant species belonging to 10 genera and 3 subfamilies. The ant communities of the two sites look significantly different in biogeographic terms, but their functional composition is similar. Moreover, we discovered that both ground and arboreal nesting species richness is positively correlated with the trunk circumference. In particular, arboreal-nesting species are limited to the deadwood richer medium and large trees. Some of the detected ant species may be useful to pest control strategies, and artificial nests may be considered to attract arboreal-nesting species in deadwood-poor trees. Key Words: arboreal ants, myrmecology, Sicily, Emilia Romagna.
