An unusual nesting of the ant Manica rubida (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in nests with mounds

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A montane ant Manica rubida (Latreille, 1802) is a pioneer ant species of sunny habitats with minimal vegetation cover. It nests in the ground, nests having no above-ground construction, though the entrances may be crater-like due to the amount of excavated soil. A polycalic colony formed almost exclusively by nests with a relatively large above-ground soil construction on the shaded site with dense vegetation cover on the edge of the Házlův Kříž peat bog in the Šumava Mts. was examined in the summer of2010. The colony is formed by 18 soil nests: one under a large stone and the rest with relatively large mounds. The mounds were on average 20 cm high, 36,5 cm wide and 50 cm long. No other ant species was noted in these mounds. The builder of these mounds as well as the reason for this unusual form of nesting regarding M. rubida is not clear. It is possible that the construction of nests with mounds is an attempt by M. rubida to obtain more sunshine in these conditions.
