A contribution to the distribution and biology of Myrmica vandeli (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) in the Czech Republic
Original language description
The ant Myrmica vandeli is a poorly known European species inhabiting montane and submontane peat bogs and wet meadows. Its colonies are free living in central Europe, whereas it is a social parasite of Myrmica scabrinodis in the north-western and eastern Europe. Besides five published records of M. vandeli found in the Czech Republic, this paper presents six new records of M. vandeli. Most records (both old and new) were restricted to southern and western parts of the Czech Republic. The nest density of ants was compared at three localities: M. vandeli was very rare compared to M. scabrinodis. Mixed samples of M. vandeli and M. scabrinodis indicated that M. vandeli might be the social parasite of M. scabrinodis in the whole area; however, more data are needed to test this hypothesis.
