The influence of different vegetation patches on the spatial distribution of nests and the epigeic activity of ants (Lasius niger) on a spoil dump after brown coal mining (Czech Republic)
Original language description
A study was carried out during 2001 on mine tailings in NW Bohemia aimed at describing the spatial patterns of nests distribution and epigeic activity of ants in relation to the vegetation mosaic. Lasius niger was the most abundant species of ant and itsnest mounds were significantly more numerous in patches with sparse vegetation than inside dense Calamagrostis epigejos vegetation; this was particularly true for small and medium-sized nests. Small and medium nests also occurred more frequently near the edges of a given patch than in the center. Large and medium nests were randomly distributed in the area, whereas small nests had an aggregated distribution. Pitfall trapping reveal significantly higher activity of L. niger workers in tall and dense vegetation stands in comparison with low and sparse vegetation. This pattern was particularly pronounced during the peak of foraging activity in summer and was not so significant in spring or autumn.
Czech name
Vliv různých typů vegetace na prostorové rozmístění hnízd a epigeickou aktivitu mravenců (Lasius niger) na výsypkách po těžbě hnědého uhlí v České republice
Czech description
Studie ukazuje, že mravenci preferují různé typy vegetace pro různé činnosti. Pro stavbu hnízda preferují otevřenou vegetaci, zatímco pro sběr potravy hustě zarostlá místa. Preference hustě zarostlých míst je významná zvláště v létě a souvisí nejspíše spřehříváním otevřených ploch.
