摘要: 【目的】探究南京溧水区3种生境地表蚂蚁群落多样性与季节动态变化趋势。【方法】于2020年8月-2021年7月在南京市溧水区设置农田、草地和人工林3种不同采样生境,进行了为期1年的季节性采样,调查了这3种生境地表蚂蚁群落的个体密度、物种数量、Simpson优势度指数、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数、Pielou均匀度指数、Jaccard相似性系数以及各指数的季节动态变化情况。【结果】2020年8月-2021年7月南京市溧水区农田地表蚂蚁优势种为草地铺道蚁Tetramorium caespitum(490头,占58.75%)、无毛凹臭蚁Ochetellus glaber(116头,占13.91%)和日本黑褐蚁Formica japonica(98头,占11.75%);草地地表蚂蚁优势种为草地铺道蚁(427头,占58.17%)和布尼兰蚁Nylanderia bourbonica(110头,占14.99%);人工林地表蚂蚁优势种为草地铺道蚁(240头,占27.18%)、日本黑褐蚁(121头,占13.70%)、夏氏尼兰蚁N. sharpii(98头,占1110%)和刻纹棱胸蚁Pristomyrmex punctatus(90头,占1019%)。不同生境地表蚂蚁群落的物种及个体数量差异显著,其中人工林地表采集到蚂蚁物种及个体数量最多(29种,883头),草地地表采集到蚂蚁物种及个体数量最少(19种,734头),方差分析结果表明,季节变化对该区域地表蚂蚁的物种数量和个体密度均产生了显著性影响,而生境变化对该区域地表蚂蚁的物种数量产生了显著性影响,对个体密度无显著性影响,但季节变化和生境变化对该区域地表蚂蚁的物种数量和个体密度都不存在交互效应。群落多样性分析显示,3种不同生境地表蚂蚁群落ShannonWiener多样性指数、Pielou均匀度指数与Simpson优势度指数季节变化趋势基本一致,均呈先上升后下降的趋势,而Simpson优势度指数与Pielou均匀度指数的季节变化趋势基本相反。农田与草地、农田与人工林、草地与人工林地表蚂蚁群落的Jaccard相似性系数分别为073, 0.52和0.52,均属于中等相似水平,而不同月份之间地表蚂蚁群落Jaccard相似性指数较低,绝大部分均属于极不相似水平。【结论】南京溧水地表蚂蚁群落个体数和物种数较为丰富,地表蚂蚁群落结构受到生境类型变化和季节变化的显著影响,今后应注意加强在不同季节对该区域蚂蚁物种资源的保护力度。

Abstract: 【Aim】To investigate the diversity and seasonal dynamics of ground-dwelling ant communities in three habitats in Lishui District, Nanjing, East China.【Methods】A one-year seasonal sampling was conducted from August 2020 to July 2021 in three different sampling habitats (farmland, grassland and plantation forest) in Lishui District, Nanjing, and the individual density, species number, Simpson dominance index, Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Pielou’s evenness index and Jaccard similarity coefficient of grounddwelling ant communities, and the seasonal dynamics of each index in these three habitats were investigated.【Results】During August 2020 to July 2021, the dominant species of ground-dwelling ants in farmland in Lishui District, Nanjing were Tetramorium caespitum (490 individuals, 58.75%), Ochetellus glaber (116 individuals, 13.91%) and Formica japonica (98 individuals, 11.75%), those in grassland were T. caespitum (427 individuals, 58.17%) and Nylanderia bourbonica (110 individuals, 14.99%), and those in plantation forest were T. caespitum (240 individuals, 27.18%), F. japonica (121 individuals, 13.70%), N. sharpii (98 individuals, 11.10%) and Pristomyrmex punctatus (90 individuals, 10.19%). The numbers of species and individuals in ground-dwelling ant communities varied significantly between habitats, with the highest numbers of species and individuals (29 species, 883 individuals) collected from plantation forest and the lowest numbers of species and individuals (19 species, 734 individuals) collected from grassland. The analysis of variance showed that seasonal changes had a significant effect on the number of species and individual density of ground-dwelling ants in this region, while habitat changes had a significant effect on the number of species and no significant effect on the individual density, but there was no interactive effect of both seasonal and habitat changes on the number of species and individual density of ground-dwelling ants in this region. The analysis of community diversity showed that the seasonal trends in the Shannon-Wiener diversity index, Pielou’s evenness index and Simpson dominance index of the ground-dwelling ant communities in the three different habitats were basically the same, with an increasing trend followed by a decreasing trend, while the seasonal trends of the Simpson dominance index and Pielou’s evenness index were basically opposite. The Jaccard similarity coefficients of the ground-dwelling ant communities between farmland and grassland, farmland and plantation forest, and grassland and plantation forest were 0.73, 0.52 and 0.52, respectively, which were moderately similar to each other, while those of the grounddwelling ant communities between different months were low, and most of them were extremely dissimilar. 【Conclusion】The numbers of individuals and species in the ground-dwelling ant communities in Lishui District, Nanjing are relatively rich, and the structure of the ground-dwelling ant communities is significantly influenced by habitat type changes and seasonal changes, so attention should be paid to strengthen the protection of ant species resources in the region in different seasons.
